Optical tomography in medical imaging

Simon Arridge · 1 Jan 1999

We present a review of methods for the forward and inverse problems in optical tomography. We limit ourselves to the highly scattering case found in applications in medical imaging, and to the problem of absorption and scattering reconstruction. We discuss the derivation of the diffusion approximation and other simplifications of the full transport problem. We…

Sparsity and incoherence in compressive sampling

Emmanuel J. Candès, Justin Romberg · 10 Apr 2007

We consider the problem of reconstructing a sparse signal x^0\\in{\\bb R}^n from a limited number of linear measurements. Given m randomly selected samples of Ux0, where U is an orthonormal matrix, we show that ell1 minimization recovers x0 exactly when the number of measurements exceeds

Synthetic aperture radar interferometry

Richard Bamler, Philipp Hartl · 1 Aug 1998

Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is a coherent active microwave imaging method. In remote sensing it is used for mapping the scattering properties of the Earth's surface in the respective wavelength domain. Many physical and geometric parameters of the imaged scene contribute to the grey value of a SAR image pixel. Scene inversion suffers from this…

Inverse Problems template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Inverse Problems format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Inverse Problems template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official IOP Publishing format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Inverse Problems use?
Inverse Problems uses Numbered (IOP) references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: [1] Smith A, Jones B and Lee C 2023 A representative article title Inverse Problems 12 45–58
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Inverse Problems?
No. DocuGuru generates the iopjournal LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a IOP Publishing-ready Inverse Problems document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Inverse Problems template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Inverse Problems format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
What is Inverse Problems?
IOP Publishing journal. It is a physics journal, published by IOP Publishing.
Can I export a submission-ready Inverse Problems PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Inverse Problems template (the iopjournal class) that is ready to submit to IOP Publishing, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Inverse Problems template cost?
You can start writing in the Inverse Problems template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Inverse Problems PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
