Fig. 10: Estimation of the prior information for the anode based on potential measurements at the surface.
From: Electrochemical tomography as a nondestructive technique to study localized corrosion of metals

The sketch illustrates the determination of the prior information for the location of the centre of the anode (zan) and the width of the anode (Wan), based on the measurable potential distribution at the concrete surface. Wan is described by a uniform probability density with 0 < Wan < max(Wan), where max(Wan) is determined as shown. zan can be described with a normal probability function with the mean as shown here and a standard deviation of \(\frac{1}{4}{\rm{max}}({W}_{{\rm{an}}})\).
