Poster Abstract: Improving image reconstruction quality in ultrasonic tomography using deep neural networks

This study aims to improve the resolution of reconstructed images from industrial ultrasonic tomography (UST) by determining the most effective neural network structure for solving the inverse problem based on the measurements taken. The study analyzed three types of neural networks: Artificial Neural Networks, Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and a hybrid of CNNs and Long Short-Term Memory networks (LSTM). After evaluating the reconstructions and quality indicators, the CNN-LSTM combination provided the most accurate image reconstructions of the industrial ultrasound tomography, highlighting the importance of selecting an appropriate neural network to improve the resolution of the reconstructed images.
