Abstract：
In the current research work, electrical resistance tomography (ERT) was employed for monitoring and visualization of crystallization processes. A first-of-its-kind MATLAB-based interactive GUI application \"ERT-Vis\" is presented. Two case studies involving varied crystallization methods were undertaken. The experiments were designed and performed involving calcium carbonate reactive (precipitative) crystallization for the high conductivity solution-solute media, and the cooling crystallization of sucrose representing the lower conductivity solution-solute combination. The software successfully provided key insights regarding the process in both crystallization systems. It could detect and separate the solid concentration distributions in the low as well as high conductivity solutions using the visual analytics tools provided. The performance and utility of the software were studied using a software evaluation case study involving domain experts. Participant feedback indicated that ERT-Vis software helps by reconstructing images instantaneously, interactively visualizing, and evaluating the output of the crystallization process monitoring data.
摘要：
在目前的研究工作中,电阻层析成像（ERT）用于监测和可视化结晶过程。介绍了一种基于MATLAB的交互式GUI应用程序“ERT-Vis”。进行了两个涉及各种结晶方法的案例研究。设计并进行了涉及高电导率溶液-溶质介质的碳酸钙反应性（沉淀性）结晶的实验，和蔗糖的冷却结晶代表较低的电导率溶液-溶质组合。该软件成功地提供了有关两个结晶系统中过程的关键见解。它可以使用提供的可视化分析工具来检测和分离低电导率和高电导率溶液中的固体浓度分布。使用涉及领域专家的软件评估案例研究，研究了软件的性能和实用性。参与者的反馈表明，ERT-Vis软件通过即时重建图像来提供帮助，交互可视化，并评估结晶过程监测数据的输出。
