摘要
Electrical resistance tomography (ERT) attempts to image the conductivity distribution of an object by measuring the voltage on its boundary. The reconstruction of ERT is an ill-posed inverse problem, and little noise in the measured data can cause large errors in the estimated conductivity. In this paper, an improved TV regularization method for ERT is introduced with iterations updated by the projected Gauss-Newton steps. It replaces the conventional TV regularization penalty term integral(Omega)vertical bar del g vertical bar d Omega by integral(Omega)vertical bar del g vertical bar(p) d Omega, in which p is selected as 1.5. The choice of such a penalty compromises both the conventional smoothness and discontinuities of the imaged conductivity. The improved approach can reconstruct images with sharp edges as well as reducing the suffering of the staircase effect. Simulation and experimental results of the improved method, TV regularization and Tikhonov regularization are compared, which show that this improved TV regularization can endure a relatively high level of noise in the measured voltages.
