contents This paper treats the inverse problem of retrieving the electrical conductivity of a material starting from boundary measurements in the framework of Electrical Resistance Tomography (ERT). In particular, the focus is on non-iterative reconstruction methods suitable for real-time applications. In this work, the Kernel Method, a new non-iterative reconstruction method for Electrical Resistance Tomography, is presented. The imaging algorithm addresses the problem of retrieving one or more anomalies of arbitrary shape, topology, and size embedded in a known background (the inverse obstacle problem). The foundation of the Kernel Method is based on the idea that if a proper current density applied at the boundary (Neumann data) of the domain exists such that it is able to produce the same measurements with and without the anomaly, then this boundary source produces a power density that vanishes in the region occupied by the anomaly, when applied to the problem involving the background material only. This new tomographic method has a simple numerical implementation that requires a very low computational cost. In this paper, the theoretical foundation of the Kernel Method is provided, and an extensive numerical campaign proves the effectiveness of this new imaging method.
