Electromagnetic interference pattern recognition tomography

Abstract

An Electromagnetic Interference Pattern Recognition Tomography (EMIPRT) method for use in an image reconstruction system includes generating electromagnetic field data corresponding to an object in an imaging domain, via an electromagnetic tomography system, and using the generated electromagnetic field data, repeatedly, in recursive manner, forming an undisturbed electromagnetic interference image, forming a disturbed electromagnetic interference image based on the undisturbed electromagnetic interference image, recognizing electromagnetic interference patterns in the repeatedly formed disturbed electromagnetic interference images, and forming a superposition image by nullifying or diminishing the recognized electromagnetic interference patterns from the disturbed electromagnetic interference image. Forming a disturbed electromagnetic interference image is also based on an object factor that is a function of the differences between experimentally electromagnetic fields and electromagnetic fields calculated during the step of forming an undisturbed electromagnetic interference image. After each repeated step of forming a superposition image, the method also includes determining whether a convergence objective has been reached.
