Estimating a conductivity distribution via a FEM-based nonlinear Bayesian method
نویسنده
چکیده
Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) of closed conductive media is an ill-posed inverse problem. In order to solve the corresponding direct problem, the Finite Elements Method (FEM) provides good accuracy and preserves the non linear dependence of the observation set upon the conductivity distribution. In this paper, we show that the Bayesian approach presented in [1] for linear inverse imaging problems is also valid for a non linear problem such as EIT. Our contribution is based on an edge-preserving Markov model as prior for conductivity distribution. Maximum a posteriori reconstruction results from 40 dB noisy measurements (simulated with a finer mesh) yield significant resolution improvement compared to classical methods.

Stability and accuracy of finite element direct solvers for Electrical Impedance Tomography
Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) of closed conductive media is an ill-posed inverse problem. In the general case, the resolution of the direct problem, derived from a second order partial derivative equation, requires a numerical approximation. The solution brought by the Finite Element Method (FEM) is often used in EIT, because it preserves the nonlinear dependence of the observation set ...
متن کاملA High-order Finite Element Method for Electrical Impedance Tomography
Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is a non-invasive imaging technique where a conductivity distribution in a domain is reconstructed from boundary voltage measurements. The voltage data are generated by injecting currents into the domain. This is an ill-conditioned non-linear inverse problem. Small measurement or forward modeling errors can lead to unbounded fluctuations in the reconstructi...
متن کاملImage Reconstruction in 3D Magnetic Induction Tomography using a FEM Forward Model
The inverse problem in 3D eddy current imaging is ill-posed and non-linear. The most commonly used image reconstruction algorithms for electrical imaging are based on a linear approximation (the Jacobian Matrix). We start with an initial conductivity distribution. The forward problem is solved and the predicted voltages compared with the calculated voltages from the Finite Element model. The co...
