CONCLUSIONS • A fast inversion method for inverting eddy-current testing data has been applied to the identification of the shape of inclusions in a conductor by eddy current tomography. • The eddy-current data consists of the variation of the impedance matrix using an a-priori designed with numerical simulation array of coils to scan the specimen under test. • The second-order moment P(2) accounts for the resistive contribution to the changes of the impedance matrix occurring at relatively low frequencies. • A direct imaging algorithm based on monotonicity principle is available that allows real-time imaging on directly measured experimental data.
