Abstract

In this study we consider the recovery of smooth elliptic region boundary in electrical impedance tomography (EIT). The assumption made is that the resistivity profile is known a priori but some of the geometric information is missing. This missing information may for example be shape, size and location. This leads to a nonlinear ill‐posed inverse problem. In this study we propose a population based parallel evolutionary computation technique, particle swarm optimization (PSO). We formulate the forward problem as mapping of a set of Fourier coefficients representing boundary shapes to the resistivity profile in the domain. Then PSO is used to iteratively seek the boundary configuration minimizing a cost functional. The final goal of this study is to recover the region boundary with only one measurement data (i.e., one current pattern) contaminated with measurement noise along with a very high contrast ratio. The simulation results are also provided to assess the merit of PSO technique.
