Image Fidelity is Not Field Fidelity: Joint Thermodynamic Reconstruction and Error Localization in Neural Tomography

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

The paper introduces CoroNeRF, a method that jointly optimizes 3D electron density and temperature fields from multi‑view, multi‑line solar coronal tomography data using a differentiable atomic‑emission renderer. It demonstrates that low 2D image error does not guarantee accurate 3D field reconstruction, and that cross‑seed instability can rank local field errors without ground truth. The study highlights the limitations of image fidelity as a proxy for field fidelity and evaluates seed‑based error localization in a controlled solar tomography setting.

Unsupervised Deep Learning for Limited-Angle STEM-EDX Tomography -- Application to 3D Chemical Analysis of Phase-Change Memory Devices

arXiv:2606. 10547v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX) tomography in Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy (STEM) enables 3D compositional and elemental mapping at the nanoscale, but its use is limited by restricted tilt ranges and low-dose conditions required to avoid beam damage.

Physics-Informed Neural Networks for Fast Multilayer Spectral Inversion of H{\alpha} 6562.8 A and Ca II 8542.1 A Spectra

The paper presents a physics-informed neural network (PINN) that accelerates multilayer spectral inversion (MLSI) of solar chromospheric lines Hα 6562.8 Å and Ca II 8542.1 Å. The PINN predicts MLSI parameters from observed line profiles and uses a differentiable forward model to synthesize spectra, trained in two stages—first with spectral reconstruction loss, then fine‑tuned with conventional MLSI results on a single reference image. Applied to Fast Imaging Solar Spectrograph data, the method reproduces key spatial structures and achieves a 12–60× speedup, processing a raster in 5–15 s versus 3–5 min for traditional MLSI.

A unified self-supervised framework for single-frame Fresnel CDI and overlapped ptychography

The paper introduces a self‑supervised neural network that unifies single‑frame Fresnel coherent diffraction imaging (CDI) and overlapped ptychography. By using a fixed, pre‑estimated probe and optimizing with a Poisson negative log‑likelihood objective, the method reconstructs object patches from either a single diffraction frame or multiple overlapping measurements, achieving high SSIM scores and a ten‑fold improvement in photon‑dose efficiency. Demonstrations on synthetic patterns and real datasets from APS and LCLS show robust, high‑throughput reconstructions, with a 36× speedup over iterative solvers for a 10,304‑frame workload.

Scalable Bayesian Optimization of Composite Functions for Image-Based Inverse Problems in Materials Characterization

The paper introduces Scalable Bayesian Optimization of Composite Functions (SBOCF) for efficiently estimating physical parameters from scientific images, specifically targeting electron microscopy PACBED patterns. SBOCF leverages the composite structure of the image-matching objective, reducing modeled outputs from 24,649 to 11 by using patch-level summaries and correction terms. With only 50 simulator evaluations, SBOCF outperformed standard Bayesian optimization, achieving up to 290× lower median SSE on synthetic SrTiO3 benchmarks and producing accurate parameter estimates on experimental data without task-specific pretraining.
