SUMMER RESEARCH STUDENT PRESENTATIONS #2
One group of students will talk about their summer research project, and we will give a few details about summer research for next year.

“Reconstructing Tomographic Images with Artificial Neural Networks”  By Dominic Cugliari and David Slakes, Mentor Jeff Martin

We have explored artificial neural networks’ (ANN) functionality in tomographic image reconstruction, a type of inverse problem. We are interested in using this technology to aid in image reconstruction, specifically in Compton scatter tomography, which is used in nondestructive inspection. Compton scatter tomography instruments produce a limited amount of data compared to computed tomography. We extended an existing technique using ANN’s to compute an optimal filter in reconstructing tomographs with filtered back projection using very limited data. We developed an image reconstruction algorithm incorporating existing packages for ANN implementation and image reconstruction within the R programming language. This algorithm was used to create weighted filters to reconstruct tomographs.

“Summer Research in Math & Stats @ Hope”  By Mathematics and Statistics Faculty 

 We will provide an overview of summer research and provide a tentative list of projects that will be available for next summer.
