Coordinate-Residual Physics-Driven Neural Network for Inverse Scattering Imaging

The paper introduces a coordinate-residual physics-driven neural network (CRPDNN) for 3‑D electromagnetic inverse scattering. CRPDNN models the unknown contrast distribution using normalized spatial coordinates and a residual convolutional network, optimizing parameters by enforcing consistency between measured and predicted scattered fields. It eliminates the need for preliminary reconstruction, achieving lower relative error and significant speedups compared to existing methods, while maintaining stability under noisy measurements and showing promise in practical imaging experiments.

High-Frequency First: A Two-Stage Approach for Improving Image INR

The paper proposes a two-stage training strategy for Implicit Neural Representations (INRs) that addresses spectral bias by using a neighbor-aware soft mask to emphasize high-frequency details early in training. In the first stage, the mask assigns higher weights to pixels with strong local variations, encouraging the network to focus on fine edges and textures. The second stage transitions to full-image training, and experiments show consistent improvements in reconstruction quality across existing INR methods.
