Evolutionary Algorithms in Image Reconstruction from Limited Data

We consider in this paper two classes of evolutionary methods for improving the ART Kaczmarz procedure: genetic and, respectively particle swarm optimization algorithms. They are combined in various ways with the classical Kaczmarz projection method, in two classes of hybrid algorithms. Experiments ilustrating the efficiency of these new methods are presented for consistent least-squares formulation of some simulated reconstruction problems in borehole electromagnetic geotomography.
