The emphasis of the research was placed on the algorithmic domain. However, it should be emphasized that all hardware components of the hybrid tomograph, including electronics, sensors and transducers, have been designed and mostly made in the Netrix S.A. laboratory. The test object was a tank filled with water with several dozen percent concentration. As part of the study, the original multiple neural networks system was trained, the characteristic feature of which is the generation of each of the individual pixels of the tomographic image, using an independent artificial neural network (ANN), with the input vector for all ANNs being the same. Despite the same measurement vector, each of the ANNs generates its own independent output value for a given tomogram pixel, because, during training, the networks get their respective weights and biases. During the tests, the results of three tomographic methods were compared: EIT, UST and EIT-UST hybrid. The results confirm that the use of heterogeneous tomographic systems (hybrids) increases the reliability of reconstruction in various measuring cases, which is used to solve quality problems in managing production processes.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s20113324","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,6,15]],"date-time":"2020-06-15T05:56:27Z","timestamp":1592200587000},"page":"3324","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":33,"title":["Quality Assessment of the Neural Algorithms on the Example of EIT-UST Hybrid Tomography"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"20","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7927-3674","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Grzegorz","family":"K\u0142osowski","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Management, Lublin University of Technology, 20\u2013618 Lublin, Poland"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3524-9151","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tomasz","family":"Rymarczyk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Economics and Innovation in Lublin Research &amp; Development Centre Netrix S.A., 20-209 Lublin, Poland"},{"name":"Research &amp; Development Centre Netrix S.A., 20-704 Lublin, Poland"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2712-6098","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tomasz","family":"Cieplak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Management, Lublin University of Technology, 20\u2013618 Lublin, Poland"}]},{"given":"Konrad","family":"Niderla","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Economics and Innovation in Lublin Research &amp; Development Centre Netrix S.A., 20-209 Lublin, Poland"},{"name":"Research &amp; Development Centre Netrix S.A., 20-704 Lublin, Poland"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9253-3474","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"\u0141ukasz","family":"Skowron","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Management, Lublin University of Technology, 20\u2013618 Lublin, Poland"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,6,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"261","DOI":"10.17531\/ein.2019.2.10","article-title":"Innovative methods of neural reconstruction for tomographic images in maintenance of tank industrial reactors","volume":"21","author":"Rymarczyk","year":"2019","journal-title":"Eksploat. i Niezawodn.
