Neural Born Iteration Method For Solving Inverse Scattering Problems: 2D Cases
share
In this paper, we propose the neural Born iteration method (NeuralBIM) for solving 2D inverse scattering problems (ISPs) by drawing on the scheme of physics-informed supervised residual learning (PhiSRL) to emulate the computing process of the traditional Born iteration method (TBIM). NeuralBIM employs independent convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to learn the alternate update rules of two different candidate solutions with their corresponding residuals. Two different schemes of NeuralBIMs are presented in this paper including supervised and unsupervised learning schemes. With the data set generated by method of moments (MoM), supervised NeuralBIMs are trained with the knowledge of total fields and contrasts. Unsupervised NeuralBIM is guided by the physics-embedded loss functions founding on the governing equations of ISPs, which results in no requirements of total fields and contrasts for training. Representative numerical results further validate the effectiveness and competitiveness of both supervised and unsupervised NeuralBIMs.
