The mapping of the RSS in terms of RTI tomogram was reconstructed by three proposed image reconstruction algorithms which are linear back projection, filtered back projection and Gaussian. The efficiency and accuracy of the localization of moisture distribution in the rice silo can be investigated by mapping the strong and weak received signal strength (RSS), where different colors in the tomogram represent the changes in moisture distribution. By using the tomography method, one can assess the rice MC in the whole silo. This research intends to reconstruct a Radio Tomography Imaging (RTI) of the rice MC. Currently, the assessment of rice MC is based on a sampling and single point measurement, and so far, there is no available method for the overall measurement of the MC in a rice silo. Inaccurate MC measurement leads to lower head rice, extra drying cost, and a loss of quality, whereas spoilage and harvesting losses if the paddy is harvested wetter than necessary. Accurate MC testing is essential for managing and selling the paddy and rice, depending on the marketing goals. Moisture content (MC) is the weight of water contained in rice and other grains expressed in percent.
