Conductivity interface modelling with dipoles by means of optimal control and boundary element methods in impedance tomography.

Abstract

Optimal control techniques have been combined with Alessandrini's singular perturbation method and Wexler's algorithm to reconstruct images in impedance imaging. We have also considered an integral formulation of the potential problem, which has led us to introduce an array of dipoles whose position, orientation and length can be optimised to model the conductivity discontinuities.
