Reconstruction of a piecewise constant conductivity on a polygonal partition via shape optimization in EIT
In this paper, we develop a shape optimization-based algorithm for the
electrical impedance tomography (EIT) problem of determining a piecewise
constant conductivity on a polygonal partition from boundary measurements. The
key tool is to use a distributed shape derivative of a suitable cost functional
with respect to movements of the partition. Numerical simulations showing the
robustness and accuracy of the method are presented for simulated test cases in
two dimensions
A transmission problem on a polygonal partition: regularity and shape differentiability
We consider a transmission problem on a polygonal partition for the
two-dimensional conductivity equation. For suitable classes of partitions we
establish the exact behaviour of the gradient of solutions in a neighbourhood
of the vertexes of the partition. This allows to prove shape differentiability
of solutions and to establish an explicit formula for the shape derivative
Reconstruction of piecewise constant layered conductivities in electrical impedance tomography
This work presents a new constructive uniqueness proof for Calder\'on's
inverse problem of electrical impedance tomography, subject to local Cauchy
data, for a large class of piecewise constant conductivities that we call
"piecewise constant layered conductivities" (PCLC). The resulting
reconstruction method only relies on the physically intuitive monotonicity
principles of the local Neumann-to-Dirichlet map, and therefore the method
lends itself well to efficient numerical implementation and generalization to
electrode models. Several direct reconstruction methods exist for the related
problem of inclusion detection, however they share the property that "holes in
inclusions" or "inclusions-within-inclusions" cannot be determined. One such
method is the monotonicity method of Harrach, Seo, and Ullrich, and in fact the
method presented here is a modified variant of the monotonicity method which
overcomes this problem. More precisely, the presented method abuses that a PCLC
type conductivity can be decomposed into nested layers of positive and/or
negative perturbations that, layer-by-layer, can be determined via the
monotonicity method. The conductivity values on each layer are found via basic
one-dimensional optimization problems constrained by monotonicity relations.Comment: 12 pages, 1 figur
Neural networks for classification of strokes in electrical impedance tomography on a 3D head model
We consider the problem of the detection of brain hemorrhages from three
dimensional (3D) electrical impedance tomography (EIT) measurements. This is a
condition requiring urgent treatment for which EIT might provide a portable and
quick diagnosis. We employ two neural network architectures -- a fully
connected and a convolutional one -- for the classification of hemorrhagic and
ischemic strokes. The networks are trained on a dataset with samples
of synthetic electrode measurements generated with the complete electrode model
on realistic heads with a 3-layer structure. We consider changes in head
anatomy and layers, electrode position, measurement noise and conductivity
values. We then test the networks on several datasets of unseen EIT data, with
more complex stroke modeling (different shapes and volumes), higher levels of
noise and different amounts of electrode misplacement. On most test datasets we
achieve average accuracy with fully connected neural networks,
while the convolutional ones display an average accuracy . Despite
the use of simple neural network architectures, the results obtained are very
promising and motivate the applications of EIT-based classification methods on
real phantoms and ultimately on human patients.Comment: 17 pages, 11 figure
Manifold Learning by Mixture Models of VAEs for Inverse Problems
Representing a manifold of very high-dimensional data with generative models
has been shown to be computationally efficient in practice. However, this
requires that the data manifold admits a global parameterization. In order to
represent manifolds of arbitrary topology, we propose to learn a mixture model
of variational autoencoders. Here, every encoder-decoder pair represents one
chart of a manifold. We propose a loss function for maximum likelihood
estimation of the model weights and choose an architecture that provides us the
analytical expression of the charts and of their inverses. Once the manifold is
learned, we use it for solving inverse problems by minimizing a data fidelity
term restricted to the learned manifold. To solve the arising minimization
problem we propose a Riemannian gradient descent algorithm on the learned
manifold. We demonstrate the performance of our method for low-dimensional toy
examples as well as for deblurring and electrical impedance tomography on
certain image manifolds
