Neural-field-based image reconstruction for bioluminescence tomography
Deep learning (DL)-based image reconstruction methods have garnered increasing interest in the last few years. Numerous studies demonstrate that DL-based reconstruction methods function admirably in optical tomographic imaging techniques, such as bioluminescence tomography (BLT). Nevertheless, nearly every existing DL-based method utilizes an explicit neural representation for the reconstruction problem, which either consumes much memory space or requires various complicated computations. In this paper, we present a neural field (NF)-based image reconstruction scheme for BLT that uses an implicit neural representation. The proposed NF-based method establishes a transformation between the coordinate of an arbitrary spatial point and the source value of the point with a relatively light-weight multilayer perceptron, which has remarkable computational efficiency. Another simple neural network composed of two fully connected layers and a 1D convolutional layer is used to generate the neural features. Results of simulations and experiments show that the proposed NF-based method has similar performance to the photon density complement network and the two-stage network, while consuming fewer floating point operations with fewer model parameters.
