A capacitance system having a capacitance sensor provides a high resolution Spatial-Adaptive Reconstruction Technique (SART) for use with Adaptive Electrical Capacitance Volume Tomography (AECVT). The system is adapted to analyze information provided by an image reconstruction of a first spatial region of an imaging domain of the sensor provide control signals to the sensor to increase the resolution at a second spatial region of the imaging domain of the sensor based on the prior image reconstruction of the first spatial region obtain image reconstruction information for the second spatial region of the imaging domain and combine the image reconstruction information for the first spatial region and the second spatial region to obtain a combined image of the imaging domain.
