Abstract:
The results in single beam gamma transmission tomography are presented by an image processing based on the Algebraic Reconstruction Technique - ART. The mathematical reconstruction was carried out by Bezier triangles with Bernstein polynomials, and also by spline functions, and as a matter of comparison the Filtered Backprojection - FBP method was used. The image processing reconstructs the FCC (fluidized catalytic cracking) catalyst density distribution in an experimental riser. Typical problems are characterized as reconstruction models involve the inverse problem, basis function and solution of linear system of equations. A least squares estimator is required for the numerical solution, the model parameters are evaluated, and a comparison with literature values is carried out.
