Abstract :
In this paper, both the simulated annealing and genetic algorithm based electrical impedance image reconstruction algorithms are investigated. In order to reduce the degrees of freedom, a guided technique based upon the voltage measurements is also designed. From the results, both methods are demonstrated to be feasible for producing dynamic images
