To solve the "soft field" effect and the ill-posed problem in electrical capacitance tomography technology, a novel image reconstruction algorithm based on population entropy and adaptive differential evolution for Electrical Capacitance Tomography is proposed in this study. The algorithm uses all the gray pixels as the initial population’s individual. After finite iterations, the algorithm mutates and makes crossover of the population in order to obtain the optimal species populations. That is the optimal value for the ECT imaging pixels. The population entropy and the variation factor make the range of each searching generation decreasing. In the simulation, the improved adaptive differential evolution algorithm will be compared with the LBP algorithm. The result shows that the new algorithm has better image quality and more stable boundary than the LBP Algorithm, which provides a new way to reconstruct images for ECT.
