It is commonly used in the fields of underwater acoustics and solid earth geophysics, for both subsurface structure analysis and for identifying unknown local obstacles (scatterers) in the medium. The present paper concentrates on the latter application. For acoustics, the KM algorithm is extremely simple and efficient, although it usually produces a rather crude image, which is the reason for its use as the method of choice when high resolution is not needed, or as a fast technique to produce an initial guess for a more sophisticated imaging method. For elasticity, KM is much more involved, as the arrival-time algorithm is not obvious, mainly since there is more than one wave speed at each spatial point. In this paper, a new KM scheme is proposed for obstacle identification in an isotropic piecewise-homogeneous elastic medium. The scheme is based on measuring two quantities that are second-order operators of the displacement field, which are related to P and S waves, and applying the acoustic KM algorithm to each of them, with the appropriate wave speed. It is demonstrated numerically that the operator related to S waves results in very good identification in many cases. The fact that measurements based on the S-related operator are preferred over those based on the P-related operator is an empirical observation, and awaits full analysis, although a partial explanation is given here.","PeriodicalId":50275,"journal":{"name":"Inverse Problems","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142226718","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study addresses the challenging task of determining variable coefficients within PDEs from measurement data. We introduce a novel neural network, ‘pseudo-differential IAEnet’ (pd-IAEnet), which draws inspiration from pseudo-differential operators. pd-IAEnet achieves significantly enhanced computational speed and accuracy with fewer parameters compared to conventional models. Extensive benchmark evaluations are conducted across a range of inverse problems, including electrical impedance tomography, optical tomography, and seismic imaging, consistently demonstrating pd-IAEnet’s superior accuracy. Notably, pd-IAEnet exhibits robustness in the presence of measurement noise, a critical characteristic for real-world applications. An exceptional feature is its discretization invariance, enabling effective training on data from diverse discretization schemes while maintaining accuracy on different meshes. In summary, pd-IAEnet offers a potent and efficient solution for addressing inverse PDE problems, contributing to improved computational efficiency, robustness, and adaptability to a wide array of data sources.","PeriodicalId":50275,"journal":{"name":"Inverse Problems","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142210310","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With applications to very large data sets in mind, we focus on linear deconvolution models based on a Wiener filter. Although comparatively simple, such models are widely prevalent in large scale setting such as high-resolution image restoration because they provide an excellent trade-off between accuracy and computational effort. However, in order to deliver accurate solutions, the models need to be properly calibrated in order to capture the covariance structure of the unknown quantity of interest and of the measurement error. This calibration often requires onerous controlled experiments and extensive expert supervision, as well as regular recalibration procedures. This paper adopts an unsupervised Bayesian statistical approach to model assessment that allows comparing alternative models by using only the observed data, without the need for ground truth data or controlled experiments. Accordingly, the models are quantitatively compared based on their posterior probabilities given the data, which are derived from the marginal likelihoods or <italic toggle=\"yes\">evidences</italic> of the models. The computation of these evidences is highly non-trivial and this paper consider three different strategies to address this difficulty—a Chib approach, Laplace approximations, and a truncated harmonic expectation—all of which efficiently implemented by using a Gibbs sampling algorithm specialised for this class of models. In addition to enabling unsupervised model selection, the output of the Gibbs sampler can also be used to automatically estimate unknown model parameters such as the variance of the measurement error and the power of the unknown quantity of interest. The proposed strategies are demonstrated on a range of image deconvolution problems, where they are used to compare different modelling choices for the instrument’s point spread function and covariance matrices for the unknown image and for the measurement error.","PeriodicalId":50275,"journal":{"name":"Inverse Problems","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142226719","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study reveals a consistent increase in stability for each scenario, characterized by two main terms: a Hölder-type term associated with data discrepancy, and a logarithmic-type term that diminishes as more frequencies are considered. In the two-dimensional case, measurements on interfaces and far-field data are essential. By employing the fundamental solution in free-space as the test function and utilizing the asymptotic behavior of the solution and continuation principle, stability results are obtained. In the three-dimensional case, measurements on interfaces and artificial boundaries are taken, and the stability result can be derived by applying the arguments for inverse source problems in homogeneous media.","PeriodicalId":50275,"journal":{"name":"Inverse Problems","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142210300","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We will assume that the corresponding far–field pattern is known/measured and we consider two inverse problems. First, we show that the far–field data uniquely determines the boundary coefficient. Next, since it is known that anisotropic coefficients are not uniquely determined by this data we will develop a qualitative method to recover the scatterer. To this end, we study the so–called monotonicity method applied to this inverse shape problem. This method has recently been applied to some inverse scattering problems but this is the first time it has been applied to an anisotropic scatterer. This method allows one to recover the scatterer by considering the eigenvalues of an operator associated with the far–field operator. We present some simple numerical reconstructions to illustrate our theory in two dimensions.

We present an unsupervised TMRF method, which jointly deals with the problem of segmentation, and that of depth estimation in order to process fluorescence microscopy images. In addition to the estimation of the depth maps using the Metropolis-Hasting and the Stochastic Parameter Estimation (SPE) algorithms, we also estimate the model parameters using the SPE algorithm.

Specifically in cases involving ill-posed inverse problems and high-dimensional parameter spaces, the scheme has shown promising success. However, in its general form, the EKI does not take constraints into account, which are essential and often stem from physical limitations or specific requirements. Based on a log-barrier approach, we suggest adapting the continuous-time formulation of EKI to incorporate convex inequality constraints. We underpin this adaptation with a theoretical analysis that provides lower and upper bounds on the ensemble collapse, as well as convergence to the constraint optimum for general nonlinear forward models.

A common approach to circumvent this issue is to approximate the forward model or the likelihood function with a surrogate model. But also there, due to limited computational resources, only a few training points are available in many practically relevant cases. Thus, it can be advantageous to model the additional uncertainties of the surrogate in order to incorporate the epistemic uncertainty due to limited data. In this paper, we develop a novel approach to approximate the log likelihood by a constrained Gaussian process based on prior knowledge about its boundedness. This improves the accuracy of the surrogate approximation without increasing the number of training samples. Additionally, we introduce a formulation to integrate the epistemic uncertainty due to limited training points into the posterior density approximation. This is combined with a state of the art active learning strategy for selecting training points, which allows to approximate posterior densities in higher dimensions very efficiently. We demonstrate the fast convergence of our approach for a benchmark problem and infer a random field that is discretized by 30 parameters using only about 1000 model evaluations. In a practically relevant example, the parameters of a reduced lung model are calibrated based on flow observations over time and voltage measurements from a coupled electrical impedance tomography simulation.","PeriodicalId":50275,"journal":{"name":"Inverse Problems","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141866576","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
