Abstract :
This paper shows how to evaluate plant growth by using electrical impedance tomography. Generally electrical impedance tomography(EIT) is used for human body and materials. By using the advantage that plants can be applied electricity inside, we can expect that more information is acquired. First, the problem is solved with a simple model analytically. Secondly, the problem with more precise model is solved numerically. In the end this paper shows how EIT works for evaluating plant growth.
