Abstract
A capacitance system having a capacitance sensor provides a high resolution Spatial-Adaptive Reconstruction Technique (SART) for use with Adaptive Electrical Capacitance Volume Tomography (AECVT). The system is adapted to analyze information provided by an image reconstruction of a first spatial region of an imaging domain of the sensor; provide control signals to the sensor to increase the resolution at a second spatial region of the imaging domain of the sensor based on the prior image reconstruction of the first spatial region; obtain image reconstruction information for the second spatial region of the imaging domain; and combine the image reconstruction information for the first spatial region and the second spatial region to obtain a combined image of the imaging domain.
