| Abstract | Non-invasive imaging and e-health have been increasing in the last decades, as a result of the efforts to generate diagnostic technology based on non-ionizing radiation. Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) is a low-cost, non-invasive, portable, and safe of handling imaging technique based on measuring the electric potentials generated by the application of currents in pairs of surface electrodes. Nevertheless, EIT image reconstruction is still an open problem, due to its nature as an ill-posed problem governed by the Equation of Poison. Several numerical methods are used in order to solve this equation without generating anatomically inconsistent results. Particle swarm algorithms can be used as alternatives to Gauss-Newton and Backprojection well-known approaches, which frequently generate low-resolution blurred images. Furthermore, Gauss-Newton convergence to anatomically consistent images is not guaranteed, needing to set constraints like the number of anatomical structures present on the image domain. Herein this work we present EIT reconstruction methods based on the optimization of the relative error of reconstruction using chaotic particle swarm algorithms with non-blind initial search. We studied two forms of initialization: totally random and including an imperfect but anatomically consistent noisy solution based on Gauss-Newton reconstruction method, according to Saha and Bandyopadhyay's criterion for non-blind initial search in optimization algorithms, in order to guide the iterative process to avoid anatomically inconsistent solutions and avoid convergence to local minima. Results were quantitatively evaluated with ground-truth images using the relative mean squared error, showing that our results reached low error magnitudes. Qualitative evaluation also indicated that our results were morphologically consistent, mainly for classical PSO and ring-topology PSO with non-blind initial search. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
