A Reconstruction Method for Electrical Impedance Tomography Using Particle Swarm Optimization

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNTCS,volume 6329))

Abstract

The inverse problem of Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT), especially for open EIT which involves less measurement, is a non-linear ill-posed problem. In this paper, a novel method based on Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is proposed to solve the open EIT inverse problem. This method combines a modified Newton–Raphson algorithm, a conductivity-based clustering algorithm, with an adaptive PSO algorithm to enhance optimal search capability and improve the quality of the reconstructed image. The results of numerical simulations show that the proposed method has a faster convergence to optimal solution and higher spatial resolution on a reconstructed image than a Newton–Raphson type algorithm.
