In this paper, we consider the imaging problem of terahertz (THz) tomography, in particular as it appears in non-destructive testing. We derive a nonlinear mathematical model describing a full THz tomography experiment, and consider linear approximations connecting THz tomography with standard computerized tomography and the Radon transform. Based on the derived models we propose different reconstruction approaches for solving the THz tomography problem, which we then compare on experimental data obtained from THz measurements of a plastic sample.

A new approach for image reconstruction in THz computed tomography (THz-CT) is presented. Based on a geometrical optics model containing the THz signal amplitude and phase, a novel algorithm for extracting an average phase from the measured THz signa ls is derived. Applying the algorithm results in a phase-contrast sinogram, which is further used for image reconstruction. For experimental validation, a fast THz time-domain spectrometer (THz-TDS) in transmission geometry is employed, enabling CT measurements within several minutes. Quantitative evaluation of reconstructed 3D printed plastic profiles reveals the potential of our approach in non-destructive testing of plastic profiles.
We introduce a novel, computationally inexpensive approach for imaging with an active array of sensors, which probe an unknown medium with a pulse and measure the resulting waves. The imaging function uses a data driven estimate of the internal wave originating from the vicinity of the imaging point and propagating to the sensors through the unknown medium. We explain how this estimate can be obtained using a reduced order model (ROM) for the wave propagation. We analyze the imaging function, connect it to the time reversal process and describe how its resolution depends on the aperture of the array, the bandwidth of the probing pulse and the medium through which the waves propagate. We also show how the internal wave can be used for selective focusing of waves at points in the imaging region. This can be implemented experimentally and can be used for pixel scanning imaging. We assess the performance of the imaging methods with numerical simulations and compare them to the conventional reverse-time migration method and the backprojection method introduced recently as an application of the same ROM.
We consider the inverse problem of estimating the spatially varying pulse wave velocity in blood vessels in the brain from dynamic MRI data, as it appears in the recently proposed imaging technique of Magnetic Resonance Advection Imaging (MRAI). The problem is formulated as a linear operator equation with a noisy operator and solved using a conjugate gradient type approach. Numerical examples on experimental data show the usefulness and advantages of the developed algorithm in comparison to previously proposed methods.

In this work, by introducing the seismic impedance tensor we propose a new Rayleigh wave dispersion function in a homogeneous and layered medium of the Earth, which provides an efficient way to compute the dispersion curve -- a relation between the f requencies and the phase velocities. With this newly established forward model, based on the Mixture Density Networks (MDN) we develop a machine learning based inversion approach, named as FW-MDN, for the problem of estimating the S-wave velocity from the dispersion curves. The method FW-MDN deals with the non-uniqueness issue encountered in studies that invert dispersion curves for crust and upper mantle models and attains a satisfactory performance on the dataset with various noise structure. Numerical simulations are performed to show that the FW-MDN possesses the characteristics of easy calculation, efficient computation, and high precision for the model characterization.

This paper proposes, for wave propagating in a globally perturbed half plane with a perfectly conducting step-like surface, a sharp Sommerfeld radiation condition (SRC) for the first time, an analytic formula of the far-field pattern, and a high-accu racy numerical solver. We adopt the Wiener-Hopf method to compute the Green function for a cracked half plane, a background for the perturbed half plane. We rigorously show that the Green function asymptotically satisfies a universal-direction SRC (uSRC) and radiates purely outgoing at infinity. This helps to propose an implicit transparent boundary condition for the scattered wave, by either a cylindrical incident wave due to a line source or a plane incident wave. Then, a well-posedness theory is established via an associated variational formulation. The theory reveals that the scattered wave, post-subtracting a known wave field, satisfies the same uSRC so that its far-field pattern is accessible theoretically. For a plane-wave incidence, asymptotic analysis shows that merely subtracting reflected plane waves, due to non-uniform heights of the step-like surface at infinity, from the scattered wave in respective regions produces a discontinuous wave satisfying the uSRC as well. Numerically, we adopt a previously developed perfectly-matched-layer (PML) boundary-integral-equation method to solve the problem. Numerical results demonstrate that the PML truncation error decays exponentially fast as thickness or absorbing power of the PML increases, of which the convergence relies heavily on the Green function exponentially decaying in the PML.
