The system uses ADS1256, a constant current source module, a serial communication module, a Raspberry host, a touch screen, and other components. The wavelet transform is used to preprocess the collected signal to improve the anti-jamming performance of the system. The method of resistance tomography is used to realize the real-time imaging of pressure distribution. Finally, the reliability of the system is verified using conductive silica gel as a sensitive material. The experimental results show that wavelet analysis preprocessing can significantly improve the quality of pressure distribution imaging.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s17112634","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,11,15]],"date-time":"2017-11-15T11:13:35Z","timestamp":1510744415000},"page":"2634","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["A Human Body Pressure Distribution Imaging System Based on Wavelet Analysis and Resistance Tomography"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"17","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3027-223X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shuanfeng","family":"Zhao","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mechanical Engineering, Xi\u2019an University of Science and Technology, Xi\u2019an 710054, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7260-7096","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Wenbo","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mechanical Engineering, Xi\u2019an University of Science and Technology, Xi\u2019an 710054, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wei","family":"Guo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mechanical Engineering, Xi\u2019an University of Science and Technology, Xi\u2019an 710054, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Chuanwei","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mechanical Engineering, Xi\u2019an University of Science and Technology, Xi\u2019an 710054, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,11,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"932","DOI":"10.1111\/wrr.12331","article-title":"Variation of plantar pressure in Chinese diabetes mellitus","volume":"23","author":"Yang","year":"2015","journal-title":"Wound Repair Regen."},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"583","DOI":"10.3233\/BMR-150442","article-title":"Plantar pressures increase with raising body weight: A standardised approach with paired sample using neutral shoes","volume":"30","author":"Hotfiel","year":"2017","journal-title":"J.
