Eddy current tomography: A Bayesian approach with a compound weak membrane-Beta prior model
نویسنده
چکیده
This work deals with an Eddy current imaging system. The solution of the associated inverse problem is regularized in a Bayesian estimation framework. The proposed approach combines the following a priori information: the function to be reconstructed had to be piecewise continous and is bounded between and . This compound a priori knowledge allows us to enhance reconstruction results with respect to the shape precision and the size resolution of the objects to be reconstructed in this kind of application.

Numerical Meshless Method in Conjunction with Bayesian Theorem for Electrical Tomography of Concrete
Electric potential measurement technique (tomography) was introduced as a nondestructive method to evaluate concrete properties and durability. In this study, numerical meshless method was developed to solve a differential equation which simulates electric potential distribution for concrete with inclusion in two dimensions. Therefore, concrete samples with iron block inclusion in different loc...
متن کاملBayesian image reconstruction in SPECT using higher order mechanical models as priors
While the ML-EM algorithm for reconstruction for emission tomography is unstable due to the ill-posed nature of the problem. Bayesian reconstruction methods overcome this instability by introducing prior information, often in the form of a spatial smoothness regularizer. More elaborate forms of smoothness constraints may be used to extend the role of the prior beyond that of a stabilizer in ord...
متن کاملBayesian Sample size Determination for Longitudinal Studies with Continuous Response using Marginal Models
Introduction Longitudinal study designs are common in a lot of scientific researches, especially in medical, social and economic sciences. The reason is that longitudinal studies allow researchers to measure changes of each individual over time and often have higher statistical power than cross-sectional studies. Choosing an appropriate sample size is a crucial step in a successful study. A st...

We introduce a new prior|the weak plate|to Bayesian tomographic reconstruction. The weak plate captures the piecewise ramplike spatial structure evident in primate autoradiograph source distributions. The weak plate is a part of a family of \mechanical" models|weak membrane (1st order), weak plate (2nd order), and weak quadric (3rd order)|in which a class of smoothness constraints derived from ...
متن کاملBayesian Inference for Spatial Beta Generalized Linear Mixed Models
In some applications, the response variable assumes values in the unit interval. The standard linear regression model is not appropriate for modelling this type of data because the normality assumption is not met. Alternatively, the beta regression model has been introduced to analyze such observations. A beta distribution represents a flexible density family on (0, 1) interval that covers symm...
