To solve the "soft-field" nature and the ill-posed problem in electrical capacitance tomography technology, a novel image reconstruction algorithm for electrical capacitance tomography is presented. According to the characteristic of the inverse problems of ECT the Gauss-Newton algorithm is improved on the basis of analyzing mechanism of the algorithm,and the stabiliza- tion of the algorithm is proved via singular value decomposition principle. The feasibility of using this algorithm for ECT problems is also discussed. It shows that it is easy to meet the convergence condition and error of image reconstruction is small. Experimental results and simulation data indicate that the algorithm can provide high quality images and favorable stabilization compared with LBP, Landweber and conjugate gradient algorithms and this new algorithm presents a feasible and effective way to research on image reconstruction algorithm for Electrical Capacitance Tomography System.
