Abstract

This paper presents a novel method of combining dual modality electrical capacitance and optical tomography for applications in monitoring and investigating solid/gas flow. The objective of this method is to obtain a good quality image of the full-scale concentration distribution of solid/gas flow. A new image reconstruction algorithm fused the dual modality images is developed and evaluated.
