Abstract :
A single-plane electrical capacitance tomography (ECT) sensor is usually used to visualise dielectric material distribution by providing two-dimensional (2D) images. The imaging of a metallic object inside a dielectric material is reported and the feasibility of 3D imaging based on the fringe effect of a single-plane ECT sensor is demonstrated. Experimental results are given.
