An algorithm for 2D-EIT created in MATLAB® is introduced and described in [2, chap. 5], which is used to improve the quality of the cross-sectional reconstructions and to increase the temporal resolution of the method by one order of magnitude.
The different behavior of an electrical potential in two-dimensional and three-dimensional case is exploited. The idea is first tested and verified by experimental data. The new measuring system “Sciospec EIT 16” from Sciospec Scientific Instruments GmbH is used for measurements. For a possible use in teaching the algorithms-source texts are slim and are available to the public.
The results presented could be used for industry, e.g. in the field of application of extrusion methods for monitoring melting or mixing processes.
