Sinusoidal Representation of the Electrical Impedance Tomography Inverse Problem
Abstract:
This work explores the use of Sinusoidal Multi-Layer Perceptrons (SMLPs) for image reconstruction in Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT). Leveraging periodic activation functions and a principled weight initialization, SMLPs demonstrate a strong capacity to recover fine spatial details and maintain robustness to measurement noise. A hierarchical hyperparameter optimization strategy is proposed to efficiently identify performant architectures with reduced computational cost. Compared to a baseline convolutional neural network, the optimized SMLP achieved lower reconstruction errors across multiple datasets, while using fewer than one-third of the trainable parameters. These results highlight the potential of sinusoidal activations for solving high-dimensional inverse problems. Future work includes validation on experimental data and integration with hybrid or physics-informed models.

The first step is measuring the peak-to-peak value, which is twice the amplitude of the sinusoid. This provides information about the maximum voltage swing of the waveform.
Secondly, the period and angular frequency are determined. The period is the time taken for one complete cycle of the waveform, while...
