Assessing the viability of complex Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) with a spatially distributed sensor array for imaging of river bed morphology

该提案旨在与伍斯特大学（UoW）和Q-par Angus Ltd建立新的合作伙伴关系，以评估复杂的电阻抗断层成像（EIT）以成像河床形态。这笔资金将用于评估垂直插入通道边缘的传感器的可行性，以提供准确和接近实时的床形态连续监测。资金将使UoW能够领导对用于河床调查的现有方法进行评估，并确定潜在最终用户的要求。Q-par Angus将为此目的领导技术开发并评估EIT的可行性。如果成功，将寻求进一步的资金来测试、开发和销售新的环境传感器

This proposal aims to establish a new collaborative partnership between the University of Worcester (UoW) and Q-par Angus Ltd to assess complex Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) to image river bed morphology. The funding would be used to assess the viability of sensors inserted vertically into the channel margins to provide accurate and near real-time continuous monitoring of bed morphology. Funding would enable UoW to lead an assessment of existing methods used for river bed surveys and define the requirements of potential end-users. Q-par Angus would lead technical developments and assess the viability of EIT for this purpose. If successful, further funding would be sought to test, develop and market the new environmental sensor
