Abstract

This paper deals with the problem of tomographic reconstruction of objects inside embankments. The article presents a new method of tomographic reconstruction of images of such technical objects as flood banks and dams. The concept is based on a neural controller that converts electrical signals into individual pixels of the image. The proposed solution provided very good quality of mappings for both small and large objects hidden inside flood embankments and dams.
