A new parameter optimization method for unclosed-electrode sensor of electrical capacitance tomography （ECT） is presented. The uniform design and non-linear partial least squares method （NPLS） were employed to extract the relationship between the sensor structure and the optimization objective; and a new objective parameters of the sensor were obtained by solving the p functional was established. The optimal objective functional. In addition, setting a 12-electrode unclosed-electrodes sensor as the investigation object,optimum design was implemented for its geometric parameters. The unclosed-electrodes sensor was then fabricated according to the optimized parameters. The numerical simulation results indicate that as for the cases of the reconstruction objects considered in this paper the quality of the reconstructed images obtained using the optimized sensor is better than the conventional sensor; as a result a new and effective method for ECT sensor design is introduced.
