The problem of transient radiative transfer in participatingmedia has attracted increasing interest over the last twodecades due to the emergence of ultrashort pulse laser and itsapplication to the picosecond level or higher accuracy levelof time-resolved techniques [1] Lasers with pulse durationsof pico- to femtoseconds have been widely utilized in theareas of laser light-scattering flame diagnose the predictionof the temperature distribution in combustion chambersatmospheric science remote sensing nondestructive testinglaser machining and medical diagnostics to name a few [2ndash4] In recent years the medical applications of short pulselaser such as the laser tissue welding [5 6] the laser tissueablation [7 8] the optical tomography in medical imaging[9] and the photodynamic therapy [10] have drawn moreand more attentions all over the world In particular theshort pulse laser of near-infrared spectrum is extensivelyused in noninvasive techniques to retrieve the character-istics of the semitransparent media such as the biologicaltissues and turbid media [11ndash14] Theoretically speaking theresearch emphases of noninvasive reconstruction technology

are focused on using the model-based iterative imagingreconstruction techniques which employ a precise and effi-cient numerical forward model based on solving completetransient radiative transfer equation (TRTE) and then estab-lish a proper inverse algorithm to retrieve the optical propertyparameters or internal geometry of the medium by using themeasured time-resolved transmittance and reflectance sig-nals Compared with the traditional measurement methodsits biggest advantages are noninvasive in situ measurementcontaining a lot of time-resolved information about internalcomposition and characteristic of the participating media

For solving the inverse transient radiation problems inthe noninvasive reconstruction the first step is to solve thedirect TRTE model accurately and efficiently Nowadaysseveral numerical strategies have been developed to solvethe forward model including the discrete ordinate method(DOM) [15ndash18] the finite volume method (FVM) [18ndash21]the integral equation (IE) method [22] the finite-elementmethod FEM [23 24] and the Monte Carlo method [25]Each of these methods has its own relative advantages anddisadvantages and none of them is superior to others inall aspects However many numerical complications may

arise from incompatibilities between the radiative transportmodel and the discrete formulation employed for the fluiddynamics and other heat transfer modes The FVM for RTEavoids many of these complications and has the advantageof greater compatibility with existing finite volume basedheat transfer software Besides the FVM also could simplifythe problems of complex geometries using the unstructuredmeshes Through decades of development FVM has becomea sophisticated technology in mechanics and thermal anal-ysis There have been several investigations focused on theinteraction of ultrafast radiation with participating mediausing FVM [19 20] In these studies both the homogeneousand inhomogeneous media have been considered Howevermost of the studies of inverse radiation problems concentrateon one-dimensional (1D) cases and there are very fewresearches about multidimensional problems especially theinverse transient radiative problems

To solve the inverse problems a wide variety of inversetechniques have been successfully employed in the inverseradiation analyses which can be grouped into two categoriesthat is the traditional algorithm based on gradient and theintelligent optimizations [26] To date many gradient-basedtechniques have been employed in the inverse radiationanalysis such as the constrained least-squares method [27]the conjugate gradient (CG) method [28] and Levenberg-Marquardt method [29] However all these traditional meth-ods depend on the initial value or the derivatives and gradi-ents which are difficult to be solved accurately by numericalsimulation in some cases Furthermore if the initial value isnot chosen properly the solution may be infeasible in theoriginal domain or in a worse case not be convergent Inaddition these conventional methods using derivatives aregenerally restricted to the conditions of continuity sensitivityconvexity monotonicity and nonlinearity of both objectivefunctions and constraints [30] Compared with traditionalgradient-based methods the intelligent optimization algo-rithms have a couple of outstanding characteristics thatis the ill-posed inverse problem could also be solved thederivative of the objective function is not necessary and the apriori information is not needed A typical characteristic ofthe intelligent optimization methods is that they can solvethe global optimal problem reliably and obtain high qualityglobal solutions with enough computational time especiallyfor higher problem dimensions [31] This is primarily due tothe fact that the random search technique is used to modifylocally examined regions which gives the algorithm a globaloptimization capability The Particle Swarm Optimization(PSO) as an intelligent swarm optimization first introducedin 1995 by Eberhart and Kennedy [32] has been studiedextensively by many researchers in recent years It is apotential heuristic bionic evolutionary algorithm originallyinspired by the locking behavior of birds Generally speak-ing PSO is characterized to be simple in concept easy toimplement and computationally efficient Early studies havefound the implementation of PSO to be effective and robust insolving problems featuring nonlinearly nondifferentiabilityand high dimensionality Many modifications have beenmade to improve the convergence rate of the original PSOalgorithmMore recently our research grouphas done several

studies on the PSO algorithm to solve the one-dimensionalinverse radiation problems [33ndash37] However to the best ofour knowledge few researches are presented to solve themultidimensional inverse transient radiation problems by theintelligent optimization methods

The objective of present work is to apply the PSO-basedalgorithms to solve the inverse transient radiation problemin two-dimensional (2D) participating medium The opticalproperties the size and location of the circular inclusionwere retrieved respectively The remainder of the paper isorganized as follows The detailed mathematical formulationand computational steps of the direct model are describedin Section 2 The theoretical models of the standard PSOthe Stochastic PSO and the hybrid Differential Evolutionand Particle Swarm Optimization (DE-PSO) algorithms aredescribed in Section 3 The solving model for direct problemand the inverse transient radiation analysis by the PSO-basedalgorithms are examined in Section 4 In Section 5 the mainconclusions and perspectives are provided

3 The Inverse Model

Commonly there are three ways to obtain the internal infor-mation of media that is the continuous wave method thetime-domain method and the frequency-domain method[39] All these methods have the similar procedure in theexperimental studies and the numerical simulations Takingthe time-domain method as an example the reconstructionscheme consists of three major parts [40] (1) a forwardmodel that predicts the detector signals based on the solutionof the transient radiative transfer equation (2) an objectivefunction that provides criterion of the differences betweenthe detected and the predicted data (3) the reconstructiontechnique which can minimize the objective function toget new guesses of the estimated parameters such as theoptical properties or the geometrical parameters Based onthe new guesses of the optical properties a new forward

calculation is performed to get the corresponding detectorpredictions The reconstruction process is completed whenthe value of the objective function is less than a preset valueor the number of iterations exceeds the maximum numberof iterations Foremost the forward model must be solvedprecisely enough so that the measurement data obtainedby detectors could be simulated correctly Consequentlythe forward model based on the complete transport-theoryTRTE should be utilized [40] The details of the inverseoptimization algorithms are shown as follows

32 Theoretical Model of DE-PSO Algorithm In order toavoid premature convergence of the standard PSO and ensurethe overall convergence a considerable number of modifiedPSO algorithms were proposed in recent years like theStochastic PSO (SPSO) the Multiphase PSO (MPPSO) theQuantum-Behaved PSO (QPSO) the hybrid Ant ColonyOptimization and PSO (ACO-PSO) and so forth [33 36 41]All these improved PSO-based algorithms are proved to beadaptive and robust parameter-searching techniques In thepresent work the SPSO and the hybrid Differential Evolutionand PSO (DE-PSO) are utilized in the inverse procedure [42]The DE-PSO is the combination of two stochastic algorithmsand is expected to accelerate the convergence process byintroducing the DEA which has strong global searchingability to the PSOThe detailed model description of SPSO is

available in [41] and will not be repeated hereThe theoreticalmodel of DE-PSO is described as follows

The differential evolution algorithm (DEA) is a novelparallel direct and stochastic searching method which wasproposed to solve the continuous domain problems in 1995[43] The basic idea of DEA is to use the differential of twoindividuals in the current generation namely vectors 119903

2and

1199033 to combinewith a third vector 119903

1to generate a newparticle

which is called the trial vector Then the objective functionwas calculated to decide whether the trial vector is to replacevector 119896 or not The trial vector T is generated according to[43]

T119896(119905) = X

1199031(119905) + 119889 [X

1199032(119905) minus X

1199033(119905)] (13)

where 119889 is a real and constant factor which controls theamplification of the differential variation [X

1199032(119905)minusX

1199033(119905)] and

in this paper it was set as 05 The integers 1199031 119903

chosen randomly from the interval [1 119899] and are differentfrom running index 119894 Other parameters are defined as sameas those of the PSO Figure 1 illustrates the vector-generationprocess defined by (13)

In the process of DE-PSO the differential evolutionoperator is introduced to the position updating equationwhich can be expressed as [42]

X119894(119905 + 1) = X

119894(119905) + V

119894(119905 + 1) + 120573 (120576DE minus 119865min) (14)

where 120573 = 119889[X1199032(119905) minus X

1199033(119905)] which is named as differential

evolution operator 119865min represents the minimum value ofobjective function in the present generation 120576DE denotes apreset constant value which satisfies 120576DE le 119865min

The main function of the third term on the right side of(14) is to avoid local convergence However the differential

evolution operation may lead to instability of the algorithmso only when the objective function of the new particle issmaller than that of the last generation (14) is applied as theposition update equation Otherwise the position updatesaccording to (12) The implementation of the approach forsolving the inverse transient radiation problem by DE-PSOalgorithm can be carried out according to the followingroutine

Step 1 Initialize the positionX119894(119905) and the speedV

119894(119905) of each

particle and calculate the objective function Afterwards theglobal best position P

119892and every local best position P

119894(119905) can

be determined

Step 2 Check if the value of the objective function is smallerthan the preset parameter 120576 or the maximum number ofiterations is reached If so go to Step 6 otherwise go to thenext step

Step 3 Update the velocity and position of each particleaccording to (11) and (14) respectively Each velocity andposition component is bounded by the maximum and mini-mumvalues towhich each particle in the space is constrainedThe range of the particle position is decided by the physicalsituation for example the single scattering albedo can only beset in the range of [0 1]Then calculate the objective functionof each particle and update the global beat position and localbest positions

Step 4 Calculate the objective function of each newly gener-ated particle If the value of the objective function is smallerthan that of the corresponding particle in the last generationthen the new particle can be maintained Otherwise regen-erate the particle according to (12)

Step 5 Update the generation from 119905 to 119905+1 and go to Step 2

Step 6 Output the global best position and its correspondingvalue of objective function

To illustrate the difference between PSO SPSO and DE-PSO algorithms more clearly the flowcharts of the threealgorithms are shown in Figure 2

To demonstrate the effects of measurement errors on thepredicted terms the random errors were considered In thepresent paper the simulated measured signals with randomerrors were obtained by adding normally distributed errors toexact reflectance and transmittance as follows

120588mea = 120588exa + rand ( ) sdot 120590 (16)

where 120588mea and 120588exa represent the measured reflectance ortransmittance signals with and without noisy data respec-tively and rand( ) denotes a normal distributed randomvariable with zero mean and unit standard deviation Thestandard deviation of the measured values is denoted by 120590which is defined as

120590 =120588exa sdot 1205742576

(17)

where 120574 is themeasured error and 2576 arises from the factthat 99 of a normally distributed population is containedwithin plusmn2567 standard deviation of the mean value Theabsorption and scattering coefficients or the inclusion loca-tions were estimated by minimizing the objective functionusing SPSO and DE-PSO algorithms The inverse algorithmswere adopted for minimization of the objective functionwhich is also called the fitness function The stop criterionof the inverse algorithms is that the number of iterationsexceeds themaximumnumber of iterations or the best fitnessfunction is less than a specified small value

more accurate than those of the PSO Furthermore underFI condition for Case 2 the optical properties of bothinclusions can be estimated accurately without measurementerrors and with the fact that the estimated relative errors ofresults for inclusion B (see Figure 8) are larger than those ofinclusion A However the calculation time required of theDE-PSO is more than that of the SPSO and PSO Thus itcan be concluded that SPSO and DE-PSO can retrieved theoptical properties in a 2Dmedium accurately but with longercalculation time The value of the objective function of PSODE-PSO and SPSO with two inclusions is shown in Figure 9It can be seen that the PSO fall into local convergence quicklyand stop searching In the earlier stage of the inverse processthe objective function of SPSO declines faster than that ofDE-PSO However in the later period of the inverse processthe SPSO almost stops searching and the objective functionof DE-PSO continues declining which leads to the result thatthe retrieving results of DE-PSO aremore accurate than thoseof the SPSO

432 Estimation of Geometrical Parameters In the inverseprocedure the long sampling span will reduce the computa-tional efficiency Hence it is of great significance to select theproper sampling spanThus the sensitivity of radiative signalto the inverse parameters needs to be analyzedThe sensitivitycoefficient is one of themost important characteristic param-eters in the sensitivity analysis which is the first derivativeof the radiative signals to a certain inverse parameter Thesensitivity coefficient is defined as

In many conditions the shapes and optical properties ofinclusions in the media are known in the actual applicationcases of reconstructing the mediumrsquos inside information Forexample a tumor or cyst in the biological tissue is spherical orspherical-like and the defects in the specimen such as the airpore are mainly the shape of a cube sphere or ellipsoid Inaddition the optical properties of human and animals tissuesin vitro or in vivo are studied thoroughly [45] Consequentlythe geometrical feature and optical properties of inclusionscould be used as a priori information in these cases whichwill reduce the complexity of the reconstruction techniqueand improve the quality and efficiency of the reconstructionresults Therefore on the condition that the inclusion shapeand the optical properties are known the inverse problemturns into the retrieval of the size and location of theinclusions

mated accurately using PSO SPSO and DE-PSO withoutmeasurement errors under FI condition Furthermore theresults of DE-PSO are more accurate than those of theSPSO and PSO The relative errors are reasonable even with10 measurement error However it is worth noting thatthe relative errors of DE-PSO with 10 measurement errorare bigger than those of the SPSO which means the SPSOalgorithm is more robust than the DE-PSO

5 ConclusionsIn the present study the standard PSO SPSO and DE-PSOalgorithms were applied to estimate the size location andoptical parameters of the circular inclusions in a 2D rectangu-lar medium The conclusion was obtained that the retrieving

results of absorption coefficient and scattering coefficientunder FI condition are more accurate than those under PIcondition the reason of which is that under FI conditionthe reflectance and transmittance signals are stronger andare carrying more information available In addition theDE-PSO algorithm shows its priority in reconstructing theinclusion properties When only one inclusion is consideredunder both laser incident conditions the resultsrsquo relativeerrors of DE-PSO are smaller than those of the SPSOHowever when estimating the size and location of inclusionmedia the SPSO is more robust than DE-PSO Furthermorecompared with the performance of standard PSO both theSPSO and DE-PSO are proved to be more accurate androbust which have the potential to be applied in the field of2D inverse transient radiative problems

2 Mathematical Problems in Engineering

arise from incompatibilities between the radiative transportmodel and the discrete formulation employed for the fluiddynamics and other heat transfer modes The FVM for RTEavoids many of these complications and has the advantageof greater compatibility with existing finite volume basedheat transfer software Besides the FVM also could simplifythe problems of complex geometries using the unstructuredmeshes Through decades of development FVM has becomea sophisticated technology in mechanics and thermal anal-ysis There have been several investigations focused on theinteraction of ultrafast radiation with participating mediausing FVM [19 20] In these studies both the homogeneousand inhomogeneous media have been considered Howevermost of the studies of inverse radiation problems concentrateon one-dimensional (1D) cases and there are very fewresearches about multidimensional problems especially theinverse transient radiative problems

To solve the inverse problems a wide variety of inversetechniques have been successfully employed in the inverseradiation analyses which can be grouped into two categoriesthat is the traditional algorithm based on gradient and theintelligent optimizations [26] To date many gradient-basedtechniques have been employed in the inverse radiationanalysis such as the constrained least-squares method [27]the conjugate gradient (CG) method [28] and Levenberg-Marquardt method [29] However all these traditional meth-ods depend on the initial value or the derivatives and gradi-ents which are difficult to be solved accurately by numericalsimulation in some cases Furthermore if the initial value isnot chosen properly the solution may be infeasible in theoriginal domain or in a worse case not be convergent Inaddition these conventional methods using derivatives aregenerally restricted to the conditions of continuity sensitivityconvexity monotonicity and nonlinearity of both objectivefunctions and constraints [30] Compared with traditionalgradient-based methods the intelligent optimization algo-rithms have a couple of outstanding characteristics thatis the ill-posed inverse problem could also be solved thederivative of the objective function is not necessary and the apriori information is not needed A typical characteristic ofthe intelligent optimization methods is that they can solvethe global optimal problem reliably and obtain high qualityglobal solutions with enough computational time especiallyfor higher problem dimensions [31] This is primarily due tothe fact that the random search technique is used to modifylocally examined regions which gives the algorithm a globaloptimization capability The Particle Swarm Optimization(PSO) as an intelligent swarm optimization first introducedin 1995 by Eberhart and Kennedy [32] has been studiedextensively by many researchers in recent years It is apotential heuristic bionic evolutionary algorithm originallyinspired by the locking behavior of birds Generally speak-ing PSO is characterized to be simple in concept easy toimplement and computationally efficient Early studies havefound the implementation of PSO to be effective and robust insolving problems featuring nonlinearly nondifferentiabilityand high dimensionality Many modifications have beenmade to improve the convergence rate of the original PSOalgorithmMore recently our research grouphas done several

studies on the PSO algorithm to solve the one-dimensionalinverse radiation problems [33ndash37] However to the best ofour knowledge few researches are presented to solve themultidimensional inverse transient radiation problems by theintelligent optimization methods

The objective of present work is to apply the PSO-basedalgorithms to solve the inverse transient radiation problemin two-dimensional (2D) participating medium The opticalproperties the size and location of the circular inclusionwere retrieved respectively The remainder of the paper isorganized as follows The detailed mathematical formulationand computational steps of the direct model are describedin Section 2 The theoretical models of the standard PSOthe Stochastic PSO and the hybrid Differential Evolutionand Particle Swarm Optimization (DE-PSO) algorithms aredescribed in Section 3 The solving model for direct problemand the inverse transient radiation analysis by the PSO-basedalgorithms are examined in Section 4 In Section 5 the mainconclusions and perspectives are provided

2 The Direct Model

In the present work the thermal effect caused by the incidentlaser was ignored and only the transient radiative transferwas considered in the numerical model Thus the transientradiative transfer equation can be expressed as [38]

3 The Inverse Model

Commonly there are three ways to obtain the internal infor-mation of media that is the continuous wave method thetime-domain method and the frequency-domain method[39] All these methods have the similar procedure in theexperimental studies and the numerical simulations Takingthe time-domain method as an example the reconstructionscheme consists of three major parts [40] (1) a forwardmodel that predicts the detector signals based on the solutionof the transient radiative transfer equation (2) an objectivefunction that provides criterion of the differences betweenthe detected and the predicted data (3) the reconstructiontechnique which can minimize the objective function toget new guesses of the estimated parameters such as theoptical properties or the geometrical parameters Based onthe new guesses of the optical properties a new forward

calculation is performed to get the corresponding detectorpredictions The reconstruction process is completed whenthe value of the objective function is less than a preset valueor the number of iterations exceeds the maximum numberof iterations Foremost the forward model must be solvedprecisely enough so that the measurement data obtainedby detectors could be simulated correctly Consequentlythe forward model based on the complete transport-theoryTRTE should be utilized [40] The details of the inverseoptimization algorithms are shown as follows

The differential evolution algorithm (DEA) is a novelparallel direct and stochastic searching method which wasproposed to solve the continuous domain problems in 1995[43] The basic idea of DEA is to use the differential of twoindividuals in the current generation namely vectors 119903

1199033 to combinewith a third vector 119903

1to generate a newparticle

which is called the trial vector Then the objective functionwas calculated to decide whether the trial vector is to replacevector 119896 or not The trial vector T is generated according to[43]

where 119889 is a real and constant factor which controls theamplification of the differential variation [X

In the process of DE-PSO the differential evolutionoperator is introduced to the position updating equationwhich can be expressed as [42]

X119894(119905 + 1) = X

119894(119905) + V

evolution operation may lead to instability of the algorithmso only when the objective function of the new particle issmaller than that of the last generation (14) is applied as theposition update equation Otherwise the position updatesaccording to (12) The implementation of the approach forsolving the inverse transient radiation problem by DE-PSOalgorithm can be carried out according to the followingroutine

Step 1 Initialize the positionX119894(119905) and the speedV

119894(119905) of each

particle and calculate the objective function Afterwards theglobal best position P

119892and every local best position P

119894(119905) can

be determined

Step 2 Check if the value of the objective function is smallerthan the preset parameter 120576 or the maximum number ofiterations is reached If so go to Step 6 otherwise go to thenext step

Step 3 Update the velocity and position of each particleaccording to (11) and (14) respectively Each velocity andposition component is bounded by the maximum and mini-mumvalues towhich each particle in the space is constrainedThe range of the particle position is decided by the physicalsituation for example the single scattering albedo can only beset in the range of [0 1]Then calculate the objective functionof each particle and update the global beat position and localbest positions

Step 4 Calculate the objective function of each newly gener-ated particle If the value of the objective function is smallerthan that of the corresponding particle in the last generationthen the new particle can be maintained Otherwise regen-erate the particle according to (12)

Step 5 Update the generation from 119905 to 119905+1 and go to Step 2

Step 6 Output the global best position and its correspondingvalue of objective function

To illustrate the difference between PSO SPSO and DE-PSO algorithms more clearly the flowcharts of the threealgorithms are shown in Figure 2

more accurate than those of the PSO Furthermore underFI condition for Case 2 the optical properties of bothinclusions can be estimated accurately without measurementerrors and with the fact that the estimated relative errors ofresults for inclusion B (see Figure 8) are larger than those ofinclusion A However the calculation time required of theDE-PSO is more than that of the SPSO and PSO Thus itcan be concluded that SPSO and DE-PSO can retrieved theoptical properties in a 2Dmedium accurately but with longercalculation time The value of the objective function of PSODE-PSO and SPSO with two inclusions is shown in Figure 9It can be seen that the PSO fall into local convergence quicklyand stop searching In the earlier stage of the inverse processthe objective function of SPSO declines faster than that ofDE-PSO However in the later period of the inverse processthe SPSO almost stops searching and the objective functionof DE-PSO continues declining which leads to the result thatthe retrieving results of DE-PSO aremore accurate than thoseof the SPSO

432 Estimation of Geometrical Parameters In the inverseprocedure the long sampling span will reduce the computa-tional efficiency Hence it is of great significance to select theproper sampling spanThus the sensitivity of radiative signalto the inverse parameters needs to be analyzedThe sensitivitycoefficient is one of themost important characteristic param-eters in the sensitivity analysis which is the first derivativeof the radiative signals to a certain inverse parameter Thesensitivity coefficient is defined as

In many conditions the shapes and optical properties ofinclusions in the media are known in the actual applicationcases of reconstructing the mediumrsquos inside information Forexample a tumor or cyst in the biological tissue is spherical orspherical-like and the defects in the specimen such as the airpore are mainly the shape of a cube sphere or ellipsoid Inaddition the optical properties of human and animals tissuesin vitro or in vivo are studied thoroughly [45] Consequentlythe geometrical feature and optical properties of inclusionscould be used as a priori information in these cases whichwill reduce the complexity of the reconstruction techniqueand improve the quality and efficiency of the reconstructionresults Therefore on the condition that the inclusion shapeand the optical properties are known the inverse problemturns into the retrieval of the size and location of theinclusions

mated accurately using PSO SPSO and DE-PSO withoutmeasurement errors under FI condition Furthermore theresults of DE-PSO are more accurate than those of theSPSO and PSO The relative errors are reasonable even with10 measurement error However it is worth noting thatthe relative errors of DE-PSO with 10 measurement errorare bigger than those of the SPSO which means the SPSOalgorithm is more robust than the DE-PSO

Figure 11 The comparison of the exact and reconstructedreflectance signals

results of absorption coefficient and scattering coefficientunder FI condition are more accurate than those under PIcondition the reason of which is that under FI conditionthe reflectance and transmittance signals are stronger andare carrying more information available In addition theDE-PSO algorithm shows its priority in reconstructing theinclusion properties When only one inclusion is consideredunder both laser incident conditions the resultsrsquo relativeerrors of DE-PSO are smaller than those of the SPSOHowever when estimating the size and location of inclusionmedia the SPSO is more robust than DE-PSO Furthermorecompared with the performance of standard PSO both theSPSO and DE-PSO are proved to be more accurate androbust which have the potential to be applied in the field of2D inverse transient radiative problems

3 The Inverse Model

Commonly there are three ways to obtain the internal infor-mation of media that is the continuous wave method thetime-domain method and the frequency-domain method[39] All these methods have the similar procedure in theexperimental studies and the numerical simulations Takingthe time-domain method as an example the reconstructionscheme consists of three major parts [40] (1) a forwardmodel that predicts the detector signals based on the solutionof the transient radiative transfer equation (2) an objectivefunction that provides criterion of the differences betweenthe detected and the predicted data (3) the reconstructiontechnique which can minimize the objective function toget new guesses of the estimated parameters such as theoptical properties or the geometrical parameters Based onthe new guesses of the optical properties a new forward

calculation is performed to get the corresponding detectorpredictions The reconstruction process is completed whenthe value of the objective function is less than a preset valueor the number of iterations exceeds the maximum numberof iterations Foremost the forward model must be solvedprecisely enough so that the measurement data obtainedby detectors could be simulated correctly Consequentlythe forward model based on the complete transport-theoryTRTE should be utilized [40] The details of the inverseoptimization algorithms are shown as follows

31 Theoretical Model of Basic PSO Algorithm The PSOalgorithmwas first introduced by Eberhart and Kennedy [32]inspired by social behavior simulations of flocking birds Theflocking population is called a swarm and the individuals arecalled the particles The basic idea of PSO can be describedsimply as follows Each particle in a swarm represents apotential solution which changes its position and updates itsvelocity based on its own and its neighborsrsquo experience Thevelocity and position of the 119894th particle at generation 119905 + 1could be expressed as [32]

32 Theoretical Model of DE-PSO Algorithm In order toavoid premature convergence of the standard PSO and ensurethe overall convergence a considerable number of modifiedPSO algorithms were proposed in recent years like theStochastic PSO (SPSO) the Multiphase PSO (MPPSO) theQuantum-Behaved PSO (QPSO) the hybrid Ant ColonyOptimization and PSO (ACO-PSO) and so forth [33 36 41]All these improved PSO-based algorithms are proved to beadaptive and robust parameter-searching techniques In thepresent work the SPSO and the hybrid Differential Evolutionand PSO (DE-PSO) are utilized in the inverse procedure [42]The DE-PSO is the combination of two stochastic algorithmsand is expected to accelerate the convergence process byintroducing the DEA which has strong global searchingability to the PSOThe detailed model description of SPSO is

available in [41] and will not be repeated hereThe theoreticalmodel of DE-PSO is described as follows

The differential evolution algorithm (DEA) is a novelparallel direct and stochastic searching method which wasproposed to solve the continuous domain problems in 1995[43] The basic idea of DEA is to use the differential of twoindividuals in the current generation namely vectors 119903

2and

1199033 to combinewith a third vector 119903

1to generate a newparticle

which is called the trial vector Then the objective functionwas calculated to decide whether the trial vector is to replacevector 119896 or not The trial vector T is generated according to[43]

1199031(119905) + 119889 [X

1199032(119905) minus X

1199033(119905)] (13)

where 119889 is a real and constant factor which controls theamplification of the differential variation [X

1199032(119905)minusX

1199033(119905)] and

in this paper it was set as 05 The integers 1199031 119903

chosen randomly from the interval [1 119899] and are differentfrom running index 119894 Other parameters are defined as sameas those of the PSO Figure 1 illustrates the vector-generationprocess defined by (13)

In the process of DE-PSO the differential evolutionoperator is introduced to the position updating equationwhich can be expressed as [42]

X119894(119905 + 1) = X

119894(119905) + V

119894(119905 + 1) + 120573 (120576DE minus 119865min) (14)

where 120573 = 119889[X1199032(119905) minus X

1199033(119905)] which is named as differential

evolution operator 119865min represents the minimum value ofobjective function in the present generation 120576DE denotes apreset constant value which satisfies 120576DE le 119865min

The main function of the third term on the right side of(14) is to avoid local convergence However the differential

evolution operation may lead to instability of the algorithmso only when the objective function of the new particle issmaller than that of the last generation (14) is applied as theposition update equation Otherwise the position updatesaccording to (12) The implementation of the approach forsolving the inverse transient radiation problem by DE-PSOalgorithm can be carried out according to the followingroutine

Step 1 Initialize the positionX119894(119905) and the speedV

119894(119905) of each

particle and calculate the objective function Afterwards theglobal best position P

119892and every local best position P

119894(119905) can

be determined

Step 2 Check if the value of the objective function is smallerthan the preset parameter 120576 or the maximum number ofiterations is reached If so go to Step 6 otherwise go to thenext step

Step 3 Update the velocity and position of each particleaccording to (11) and (14) respectively Each velocity andposition component is bounded by the maximum and mini-mumvalues towhich each particle in the space is constrainedThe range of the particle position is decided by the physicalsituation for example the single scattering albedo can only beset in the range of [0 1]Then calculate the objective functionof each particle and update the global beat position and localbest positions

Step 4 Calculate the objective function of each newly gener-ated particle If the value of the objective function is smallerthan that of the corresponding particle in the last generationthen the new particle can be maintained Otherwise regen-erate the particle according to (12)

Step 5 Update the generation from 119905 to 119905+1 and go to Step 2

Step 6 Output the global best position and its correspondingvalue of objective function

To illustrate the difference between PSO SPSO and DE-PSO algorithms more clearly the flowcharts of the threealgorithms are shown in Figure 2

To demonstrate the effects of measurement errors on thepredicted terms the random errors were considered In thepresent paper the simulated measured signals with randomerrors were obtained by adding normally distributed errors toexact reflectance and transmittance as follows

120588mea = 120588exa + rand ( ) sdot 120590 (16)

where 120588mea and 120588exa represent the measured reflectance ortransmittance signals with and without noisy data respec-tively and rand( ) denotes a normal distributed randomvariable with zero mean and unit standard deviation Thestandard deviation of the measured values is denoted by 120590which is defined as

120590 =120588exa sdot 1205742576

(17)

where 120574 is themeasured error and 2576 arises from the factthat 99 of a normally distributed population is containedwithin plusmn2567 standard deviation of the mean value Theabsorption and scattering coefficients or the inclusion loca-tions were estimated by minimizing the objective functionusing SPSO and DE-PSO algorithms The inverse algorithmswere adopted for minimization of the objective functionwhich is also called the fitness function The stop criterionof the inverse algorithms is that the number of iterationsexceeds themaximumnumber of iterations or the best fitnessfunction is less than a specified small value

more accurate than those of the PSO Furthermore underFI condition for Case 2 the optical properties of bothinclusions can be estimated accurately without measurementerrors and with the fact that the estimated relative errors ofresults for inclusion B (see Figure 8) are larger than those ofinclusion A However the calculation time required of theDE-PSO is more than that of the SPSO and PSO Thus itcan be concluded that SPSO and DE-PSO can retrieved theoptical properties in a 2Dmedium accurately but with longercalculation time The value of the objective function of PSODE-PSO and SPSO with two inclusions is shown in Figure 9It can be seen that the PSO fall into local convergence quicklyand stop searching In the earlier stage of the inverse processthe objective function of SPSO declines faster than that ofDE-PSO However in the later period of the inverse processthe SPSO almost stops searching and the objective functionof DE-PSO continues declining which leads to the result thatthe retrieving results of DE-PSO aremore accurate than thoseof the SPSO

432 Estimation of Geometrical Parameters In the inverseprocedure the long sampling span will reduce the computa-tional efficiency Hence it is of great significance to select theproper sampling spanThus the sensitivity of radiative signalto the inverse parameters needs to be analyzedThe sensitivitycoefficient is one of themost important characteristic param-eters in the sensitivity analysis which is the first derivativeof the radiative signals to a certain inverse parameter Thesensitivity coefficient is defined as

In many conditions the shapes and optical properties ofinclusions in the media are known in the actual applicationcases of reconstructing the mediumrsquos inside information Forexample a tumor or cyst in the biological tissue is spherical orspherical-like and the defects in the specimen such as the airpore are mainly the shape of a cube sphere or ellipsoid Inaddition the optical properties of human and animals tissuesin vitro or in vivo are studied thoroughly [45] Consequentlythe geometrical feature and optical properties of inclusionscould be used as a priori information in these cases whichwill reduce the complexity of the reconstruction techniqueand improve the quality and efficiency of the reconstructionresults Therefore on the condition that the inclusion shapeand the optical properties are known the inverse problemturns into the retrieval of the size and location of theinclusions

with 10 measurement errorIt can be seen that the size and location can be esti-

mated accurately using PSO SPSO and DE-PSO withoutmeasurement errors under FI condition Furthermore theresults of DE-PSO are more accurate than those of theSPSO and PSO The relative errors are reasonable even with10 measurement error However it is worth noting thatthe relative errors of DE-PSO with 10 measurement errorare bigger than those of the SPSO which means the SPSOalgorithm is more robust than the DE-PSO

calculation is performed to get the corresponding detectorpredictions The reconstruction process is completed whenthe value of the objective function is less than a preset valueor the number of iterations exceeds the maximum numberof iterations Foremost the forward model must be solvedprecisely enough so that the measurement data obtainedby detectors could be simulated correctly Consequentlythe forward model based on the complete transport-theoryTRTE should be utilized [40] The details of the inverseoptimization algorithms are shown as follows

31 Theoretical Model of Basic PSO Algorithm The PSOalgorithmwas first introduced by Eberhart and Kennedy [32]inspired by social behavior simulations of flocking birds Theflocking population is called a swarm and the individuals arecalled the particles The basic idea of PSO can be describedsimply as follows Each particle in a swarm represents apotential solution which changes its position and updates itsvelocity based on its own and its neighborsrsquo experience Thevelocity and position of the 119894th particle at generation 119905 + 1could be expressed as [32]

32 Theoretical Model of DE-PSO Algorithm In order toavoid premature convergence of the standard PSO and ensurethe overall convergence a considerable number of modifiedPSO algorithms were proposed in recent years like theStochastic PSO (SPSO) the Multiphase PSO (MPPSO) theQuantum-Behaved PSO (QPSO) the hybrid Ant ColonyOptimization and PSO (ACO-PSO) and so forth [33 36 41]All these improved PSO-based algorithms are proved to beadaptive and robust parameter-searching techniques In thepresent work the SPSO and the hybrid Differential Evolutionand PSO (DE-PSO) are utilized in the inverse procedure [42]The DE-PSO is the combination of two stochastic algorithmsand is expected to accelerate the convergence process byintroducing the DEA which has strong global searchingability to the PSOThe detailed model description of SPSO is

available in [41] and will not be repeated hereThe theoreticalmodel of DE-PSO is described as follows

The differential evolution algorithm (DEA) is a novelparallel direct and stochastic searching method which wasproposed to solve the continuous domain problems in 1995[43] The basic idea of DEA is to use the differential of twoindividuals in the current generation namely vectors 119903

2and

1199033 to combinewith a third vector 119903

1to generate a newparticle

which is called the trial vector Then the objective functionwas calculated to decide whether the trial vector is to replacevector 119896 or not The trial vector T is generated according to[43]

T119896(119905) = X

1199031(119905) + 119889 [X

1199032(119905) minus X

1199033(119905)] (13)

where 119889 is a real and constant factor which controls theamplification of the differential variation [X

1199032(119905)minusX

1199033(119905)] and

in this paper it was set as 05 The integers 1199031 119903

2 and 119903

3are

chosen randomly from the interval [1 119899] and are differentfrom running index 119894 Other parameters are defined as sameas those of the PSO Figure 1 illustrates the vector-generationprocess defined by (13)

In the process of DE-PSO the differential evolutionoperator is introduced to the position updating equationwhich can be expressed as [42]

X119894(119905 + 1) = X

119894(119905) + V

119894(119905 + 1) + 120573 (120576DE minus 119865min) (14)

where 120573 = 119889[X1199032(119905) minus X

1199033(119905)] which is named as differential

evolution operator 119865min represents the minimum value ofobjective function in the present generation 120576DE denotes apreset constant value which satisfies 120576DE le 119865min

The main function of the third term on the right side of(14) is to avoid local convergence However the differential

evolution operation may lead to instability of the algorithmso only when the objective function of the new particle issmaller than that of the last generation (14) is applied as theposition update equation Otherwise the position updatesaccording to (12) The implementation of the approach forsolving the inverse transient radiation problem by DE-PSOalgorithm can be carried out according to the followingroutine

Step 1 Initialize the positionX119894(119905) and the speedV

119894(119905) of each

particle and calculate the objective function Afterwards theglobal best position P

119892and every local best position P

119894(119905) can

be determined

Step 2 Check if the value of the objective function is smallerthan the preset parameter 120576 or the maximum number ofiterations is reached If so go to Step 6 otherwise go to thenext step

Step 3 Update the velocity and position of each particleaccording to (11) and (14) respectively Each velocity andposition component is bounded by the maximum and mini-mumvalues towhich each particle in the space is constrainedThe range of the particle position is decided by the physicalsituation for example the single scattering albedo can only beset in the range of [0 1]Then calculate the objective functionof each particle and update the global beat position and localbest positions

Step 4 Calculate the objective function of each newly gener-ated particle If the value of the objective function is smallerthan that of the corresponding particle in the last generationthen the new particle can be maintained Otherwise regen-erate the particle according to (12)

Step 5 Update the generation from 119905 to 119905+1 and go to Step 2

Step 6 Output the global best position and its correspondingvalue of objective function

To illustrate the difference between PSO SPSO and DE-PSO algorithms more clearly the flowcharts of the threealgorithms are shown in Figure 2

To demonstrate the effects of measurement errors on thepredicted terms the random errors were considered In thepresent paper the simulated measured signals with randomerrors were obtained by adding normally distributed errors toexact reflectance and transmittance as follows

120588mea = 120588exa + rand ( ) sdot 120590 (16)

where 120588mea and 120588exa represent the measured reflectance ortransmittance signals with and without noisy data respec-tively and rand( ) denotes a normal distributed randomvariable with zero mean and unit standard deviation Thestandard deviation of the measured values is denoted by 120590which is defined as

120590 =120588exa sdot 1205742576

(17)

where 120574 is themeasured error and 2576 arises from the factthat 99 of a normally distributed population is containedwithin plusmn2567 standard deviation of the mean value Theabsorption and scattering coefficients or the inclusion loca-tions were estimated by minimizing the objective functionusing SPSO and DE-PSO algorithms The inverse algorithmswere adopted for minimization of the objective functionwhich is also called the fitness function The stop criterionof the inverse algorithms is that the number of iterationsexceeds themaximumnumber of iterations or the best fitnessfunction is less than a specified small value

more accurate than those of the PSO Furthermore underFI condition for Case 2 the optical properties of bothinclusions can be estimated accurately without measurementerrors and with the fact that the estimated relative errors ofresults for inclusion B (see Figure 8) are larger than those ofinclusion A However the calculation time required of theDE-PSO is more than that of the SPSO and PSO Thus itcan be concluded that SPSO and DE-PSO can retrieved theoptical properties in a 2Dmedium accurately but with longercalculation time The value of the objective function of PSODE-PSO and SPSO with two inclusions is shown in Figure 9It can be seen that the PSO fall into local convergence quicklyand stop searching In the earlier stage of the inverse processthe objective function of SPSO declines faster than that ofDE-PSO However in the later period of the inverse processthe SPSO almost stops searching and the objective functionof DE-PSO continues declining which leads to the result thatthe retrieving results of DE-PSO aremore accurate than thoseof the SPSO

432 Estimation of Geometrical Parameters In the inverseprocedure the long sampling span will reduce the computa-tional efficiency Hence it is of great significance to select theproper sampling spanThus the sensitivity of radiative signalto the inverse parameters needs to be analyzedThe sensitivitycoefficient is one of themost important characteristic param-eters in the sensitivity analysis which is the first derivativeof the radiative signals to a certain inverse parameter Thesensitivity coefficient is defined as

In many conditions the shapes and optical properties ofinclusions in the media are known in the actual applicationcases of reconstructing the mediumrsquos inside information Forexample a tumor or cyst in the biological tissue is spherical orspherical-like and the defects in the specimen such as the airpore are mainly the shape of a cube sphere or ellipsoid Inaddition the optical properties of human and animals tissuesin vitro or in vivo are studied thoroughly [45] Consequentlythe geometrical feature and optical properties of inclusionscould be used as a priori information in these cases whichwill reduce the complexity of the reconstruction techniqueand improve the quality and efficiency of the reconstructionresults Therefore on the condition that the inclusion shapeand the optical properties are known the inverse problemturns into the retrieval of the size and location of theinclusions

with 10 measurement errorIt can be seen that the size and location can be esti-

mated accurately using PSO SPSO and DE-PSO withoutmeasurement errors under FI condition Furthermore theresults of DE-PSO are more accurate than those of theSPSO and PSO The relative errors are reasonable even with10 measurement error However it is worth noting thatthe relative errors of DE-PSO with 10 measurement errorare bigger than those of the SPSO which means the SPSOalgorithm is more robust than the DE-PSO

evolution operation may lead to instability of the algorithmso only when the objective function of the new particle issmaller than that of the last generation (14) is applied as theposition update equation Otherwise the position updatesaccording to (12) The implementation of the approach forsolving the inverse transient radiation problem by DE-PSOalgorithm can be carried out according to the followingroutine

Step 1 Initialize the positionX119894(119905) and the speedV

119894(119905) of each

particle and calculate the objective function Afterwards theglobal best position P

119892and every local best position P

119894(119905) can

be determined

Step 2 Check if the value of the objective function is smallerthan the preset parameter 120576 or the maximum number ofiterations is reached If so go to Step 6 otherwise go to thenext step

Step 3 Update the velocity and position of each particleaccording to (11) and (14) respectively Each velocity andposition component is bounded by the maximum and mini-mumvalues towhich each particle in the space is constrainedThe range of the particle position is decided by the physicalsituation for example the single scattering albedo can only beset in the range of [0 1]Then calculate the objective functionof each particle and update the global beat position and localbest positions

Step 4 Calculate the objective function of each newly gener-ated particle If the value of the objective function is smallerthan that of the corresponding particle in the last generationthen the new particle can be maintained Otherwise regen-erate the particle according to (12)

Step 5 Update the generation from 119905 to 119905+1 and go to Step 2

Step 6 Output the global best position and its correspondingvalue of objective function

To illustrate the difference between PSO SPSO and DE-PSO algorithms more clearly the flowcharts of the threealgorithms are shown in Figure 2

To demonstrate the effects of measurement errors on thepredicted terms the random errors were considered In thepresent paper the simulated measured signals with randomerrors were obtained by adding normally distributed errors toexact reflectance and transmittance as follows

120588mea = 120588exa + rand ( ) sdot 120590 (16)

where 120588mea and 120588exa represent the measured reflectance ortransmittance signals with and without noisy data respec-tively and rand( ) denotes a normal distributed randomvariable with zero mean and unit standard deviation Thestandard deviation of the measured values is denoted by 120590which is defined as

120590 =120588exa sdot 1205742576

(17)

where 120574 is themeasured error and 2576 arises from the factthat 99 of a normally distributed population is containedwithin plusmn2567 standard deviation of the mean value Theabsorption and scattering coefficients or the inclusion loca-tions were estimated by minimizing the objective functionusing SPSO and DE-PSO algorithms The inverse algorithmswere adopted for minimization of the objective functionwhich is also called the fitness function The stop criterionof the inverse algorithms is that the number of iterationsexceeds themaximumnumber of iterations or the best fitnessfunction is less than a specified small value

more accurate than those of the PSO Furthermore underFI condition for Case 2 the optical properties of bothinclusions can be estimated accurately without measurementerrors and with the fact that the estimated relative errors ofresults for inclusion B (see Figure 8) are larger than those ofinclusion A However the calculation time required of theDE-PSO is more than that of the SPSO and PSO Thus itcan be concluded that SPSO and DE-PSO can retrieved theoptical properties in a 2Dmedium accurately but with longercalculation time The value of the objective function of PSODE-PSO and SPSO with two inclusions is shown in Figure 9It can be seen that the PSO fall into local convergence quicklyand stop searching In the earlier stage of the inverse processthe objective function of SPSO declines faster than that ofDE-PSO However in the later period of the inverse processthe SPSO almost stops searching and the objective functionof DE-PSO continues declining which leads to the result thatthe retrieving results of DE-PSO aremore accurate than thoseof the SPSO

432 Estimation of Geometrical Parameters In the inverseprocedure the long sampling span will reduce the computa-tional efficiency Hence it is of great significance to select theproper sampling spanThus the sensitivity of radiative signalto the inverse parameters needs to be analyzedThe sensitivitycoefficient is one of themost important characteristic param-eters in the sensitivity analysis which is the first derivativeof the radiative signals to a certain inverse parameter Thesensitivity coefficient is defined as

In many conditions the shapes and optical properties ofinclusions in the media are known in the actual applicationcases of reconstructing the mediumrsquos inside information Forexample a tumor or cyst in the biological tissue is spherical orspherical-like and the defects in the specimen such as the airpore are mainly the shape of a cube sphere or ellipsoid Inaddition the optical properties of human and animals tissuesin vitro or in vivo are studied thoroughly [45] Consequentlythe geometrical feature and optical properties of inclusionscould be used as a priori information in these cases whichwill reduce the complexity of the reconstruction techniqueand improve the quality and efficiency of the reconstructionresults Therefore on the condition that the inclusion shapeand the optical properties are known the inverse problemturns into the retrieval of the size and location of theinclusions

with 10 measurement errorIt can be seen that the size and location can be esti-

mated accurately using PSO SPSO and DE-PSO withoutmeasurement errors under FI condition Furthermore theresults of DE-PSO are more accurate than those of theSPSO and PSO The relative errors are reasonable even with10 measurement error However it is worth noting thatthe relative errors of DE-PSO with 10 measurement errorare bigger than those of the SPSO which means the SPSOalgorithm is more robust than the DE-PSO

5 ConclusionsIn the present study the standard PSO SPSO and DE-PSOalgorithms were applied to estimate the size location andoptical parameters of the circular inclusions in a 2D rectangu-lar medium The conclusion was obtained that the retrieving

results of absorption coefficient and scattering coefficientunder FI condition are more accurate than those under PIcondition the reason of which is that under FI conditionthe reflectance and transmittance signals are stronger andare carrying more information available In addition theDE-PSO algorithm shows its priority in reconstructing theinclusion properties When only one inclusion is consideredunder both laser incident conditions the resultsrsquo relativeerrors of DE-PSO are smaller than those of the SPSOHowever when estimating the size and location of inclusionmedia the SPSO is more robust than DE-PSO Furthermorecompared with the performance of standard PSO both theSPSO and DE-PSO are proved to be more accurate androbust which have the potential to be applied in the field of2D inverse transient radiative problems

more accurate than those of the PSO Furthermore underFI condition for Case 2 the optical properties of bothinclusions can be estimated accurately without measurementerrors and with the fact that the estimated relative errors ofresults for inclusion B (see Figure 8) are larger than those ofinclusion A However the calculation time required of theDE-PSO is more than that of the SPSO and PSO Thus itcan be concluded that SPSO and DE-PSO can retrieved theoptical properties in a 2Dmedium accurately but with longercalculation time The value of the objective function of PSODE-PSO and SPSO with two inclusions is shown in Figure 9It can be seen that the PSO fall into local convergence quicklyand stop searching In the earlier stage of the inverse processthe objective function of SPSO declines faster than that ofDE-PSO However in the later period of the inverse processthe SPSO almost stops searching and the objective functionof DE-PSO continues declining which leads to the result thatthe retrieving results of DE-PSO aremore accurate than thoseof the SPSO

432 Estimation of Geometrical Parameters In the inverseprocedure the long sampling span will reduce the computa-tional efficiency Hence it is of great significance to select theproper sampling spanThus the sensitivity of radiative signalto the inverse parameters needs to be analyzedThe sensitivitycoefficient is one of themost important characteristic param-eters in the sensitivity analysis which is the first derivativeof the radiative signals to a certain inverse parameter Thesensitivity coefficient is defined as

In many conditions the shapes and optical properties ofinclusions in the media are known in the actual applicationcases of reconstructing the mediumrsquos inside information Forexample a tumor or cyst in the biological tissue is spherical orspherical-like and the defects in the specimen such as the airpore are mainly the shape of a cube sphere or ellipsoid Inaddition the optical properties of human and animals tissuesin vitro or in vivo are studied thoroughly [45] Consequentlythe geometrical feature and optical properties of inclusionscould be used as a priori information in these cases whichwill reduce the complexity of the reconstruction techniqueand improve the quality and efficiency of the reconstructionresults Therefore on the condition that the inclusion shapeand the optical properties are known the inverse problemturns into the retrieval of the size and location of theinclusions

mated accurately using PSO SPSO and DE-PSO withoutmeasurement errors under FI condition Furthermore theresults of DE-PSO are more accurate than those of theSPSO and PSO The relative errors are reasonable even with10 measurement error However it is worth noting thatthe relative errors of DE-PSO with 10 measurement errorare bigger than those of the SPSO which means the SPSOalgorithm is more robust than the DE-PSO

Figure 11 The comparison of the exact and reconstructedreflectance signals

results of absorption coefficient and scattering coefficientunder FI condition are more accurate than those under PIcondition the reason of which is that under FI conditionthe reflectance and transmittance signals are stronger andare carrying more information available In addition theDE-PSO algorithm shows its priority in reconstructing theinclusion properties When only one inclusion is consideredunder both laser incident conditions the resultsrsquo relativeerrors of DE-PSO are smaller than those of the SPSOHowever when estimating the size and location of inclusionmedia the SPSO is more robust than DE-PSO Furthermorecompared with the performance of standard PSO both theSPSO and DE-PSO are proved to be more accurate androbust which have the potential to be applied in the field of2D inverse transient radiative problems

more accurate than those of the PSO Furthermore underFI condition for Case 2 the optical properties of bothinclusions can be estimated accurately without measurementerrors and with the fact that the estimated relative errors ofresults for inclusion B (see Figure 8) are larger than those ofinclusion A However the calculation time required of theDE-PSO is more than that of the SPSO and PSO Thus itcan be concluded that SPSO and DE-PSO can retrieved theoptical properties in a 2Dmedium accurately but with longercalculation time The value of the objective function of PSODE-PSO and SPSO with two inclusions is shown in Figure 9It can be seen that the PSO fall into local convergence quicklyand stop searching In the earlier stage of the inverse processthe objective function of SPSO declines faster than that ofDE-PSO However in the later period of the inverse processthe SPSO almost stops searching and the objective functionof DE-PSO continues declining which leads to the result thatthe retrieving results of DE-PSO aremore accurate than thoseof the SPSO

432 Estimation of Geometrical Parameters In the inverseprocedure the long sampling span will reduce the computa-tional efficiency Hence it is of great significance to select theproper sampling spanThus the sensitivity of radiative signalto the inverse parameters needs to be analyzedThe sensitivitycoefficient is one of themost important characteristic param-eters in the sensitivity analysis which is the first derivativeof the radiative signals to a certain inverse parameter Thesensitivity coefficient is defined as

In many conditions the shapes and optical properties ofinclusions in the media are known in the actual applicationcases of reconstructing the mediumrsquos inside information Forexample a tumor or cyst in the biological tissue is spherical orspherical-like and the defects in the specimen such as the airpore are mainly the shape of a cube sphere or ellipsoid Inaddition the optical properties of human and animals tissuesin vitro or in vivo are studied thoroughly [45] Consequentlythe geometrical feature and optical properties of inclusionscould be used as a priori information in these cases whichwill reduce the complexity of the reconstruction techniqueand improve the quality and efficiency of the reconstructionresults Therefore on the condition that the inclusion shapeand the optical properties are known the inverse problemturns into the retrieval of the size and location of theinclusions

with 10 measurement errorIt can be seen that the size and location can be esti-

mated accurately using PSO SPSO and DE-PSO withoutmeasurement errors under FI condition Furthermore theresults of DE-PSO are more accurate than those of theSPSO and PSO The relative errors are reasonable even with10 measurement error However it is worth noting thatthe relative errors of DE-PSO with 10 measurement errorare bigger than those of the SPSO which means the SPSOalgorithm is more robust than the DE-PSO

5 ConclusionsIn the present study the standard PSO SPSO and DE-PSOalgorithms were applied to estimate the size location andoptical parameters of the circular inclusions in a 2D rectangu-lar medium The conclusion was obtained that the retrieving

results of absorption coefficient and scattering coefficientunder FI condition are more accurate than those under PIcondition the reason of which is that under FI conditionthe reflectance and transmittance signals are stronger andare carrying more information available In addition theDE-PSO algorithm shows its priority in reconstructing theinclusion properties When only one inclusion is consideredunder both laser incident conditions the resultsrsquo relativeerrors of DE-PSO are smaller than those of the SPSOHowever when estimating the size and location of inclusionmedia the SPSO is more robust than DE-PSO Furthermorecompared with the performance of standard PSO both theSPSO and DE-PSO are proved to be more accurate androbust which have the potential to be applied in the field of2D inverse transient radiative problems

Figure 5 The physical model contains two inclusions

The control volumes are set as 119873119909times 119873

119910= 100 times 100

and the time step is taken as Δ(119888119905) = 001m The time-resolved reflectance and transmittance signals are shown inFigures 6(a) and 6(b) It is apparent that the size locationand properties of the inclusions have a significant influenceon the radiative signals which can be concluded that theseparameters can be retrieved theoretically All the cases were

implemented using FORTRAN code and the developedprogram was executed on an Intel Xeon E5-2670 PC

can beretrieved accurately under both PI and FI conditions byPSO SPSO and DE-PSO when there is only one inclusionFurthermore it also demonstrates that the retrieving resultsunder FI condition are more accurate than those under PIcondition the reason of which is that under FI conditionthe reflectance and transmittance signals are stronger andare carrying more information available Meanwhile theDE-PSO algorithm shows its priority in reconstructing theinclusion properties Under both conditions the relativeerrors of retrieval results are smaller than those of the SPSOand PSO Table 3 demonstrates the retrieving results of theoptical properties for Case 2 of different generations Asshown in Table 4 the results of SPSO and DE-PSO are

more accurate than those of the PSO Furthermore underFI condition for Case 2 the optical properties of bothinclusions can be estimated accurately without measurementerrors and with the fact that the estimated relative errors ofresults for inclusion B (see Figure 8) are larger than those ofinclusion A However the calculation time required of theDE-PSO is more than that of the SPSO and PSO Thus itcan be concluded that SPSO and DE-PSO can retrieved theoptical properties in a 2Dmedium accurately but with longercalculation time The value of the objective function of PSODE-PSO and SPSO with two inclusions is shown in Figure 9It can be seen that the PSO fall into local convergence quicklyand stop searching In the earlier stage of the inverse processthe objective function of SPSO declines faster than that ofDE-PSO However in the later period of the inverse processthe SPSO almost stops searching and the objective functionof DE-PSO continues declining which leads to the result thatthe retrieving results of DE-PSO aremore accurate than thoseof the SPSO

432 Estimation of Geometrical Parameters In the inverseprocedure the long sampling span will reduce the computa-tional efficiency Hence it is of great significance to select theproper sampling spanThus the sensitivity of radiative signalto the inverse parameters needs to be analyzedThe sensitivitycoefficient is one of themost important characteristic param-eters in the sensitivity analysis which is the first derivativeof the radiative signals to a certain inverse parameter Thesensitivity coefficient is defined as

In many conditions the shapes and optical properties ofinclusions in the media are known in the actual applicationcases of reconstructing the mediumrsquos inside information Forexample a tumor or cyst in the biological tissue is spherical orspherical-like and the defects in the specimen such as the airpore are mainly the shape of a cube sphere or ellipsoid Inaddition the optical properties of human and animals tissuesin vitro or in vivo are studied thoroughly [45] Consequentlythe geometrical feature and optical properties of inclusionscould be used as a priori information in these cases whichwill reduce the complexity of the reconstruction techniqueand improve the quality and efficiency of the reconstructionresults Therefore on the condition that the inclusion shapeand the optical properties are known the inverse problemturns into the retrieval of the size and location of theinclusions

with 10 measurement errorIt can be seen that the size and location can be esti-

mated accurately using PSO SPSO and DE-PSO withoutmeasurement errors under FI condition Furthermore theresults of DE-PSO are more accurate than those of theSPSO and PSO The relative errors are reasonable even with10 measurement error However it is worth noting thatthe relative errors of DE-PSO with 10 measurement errorare bigger than those of the SPSO which means the SPSOalgorithm is more robust than the DE-PSO

5 ConclusionsIn the present study the standard PSO SPSO and DE-PSOalgorithms were applied to estimate the size location andoptical parameters of the circular inclusions in a 2D rectangu-lar medium The conclusion was obtained that the retrieving

results of absorption coefficient and scattering coefficientunder FI condition are more accurate than those under PIcondition the reason of which is that under FI conditionthe reflectance and transmittance signals are stronger andare carrying more information available In addition theDE-PSO algorithm shows its priority in reconstructing theinclusion properties When only one inclusion is consideredunder both laser incident conditions the resultsrsquo relativeerrors of DE-PSO are smaller than those of the SPSOHowever when estimating the size and location of inclusionmedia the SPSO is more robust than DE-PSO Furthermorecompared with the performance of standard PSO both theSPSO and DE-PSO are proved to be more accurate androbust which have the potential to be applied in the field of2D inverse transient radiative problems

more accurate than those of the PSO Furthermore underFI condition for Case 2 the optical properties of bothinclusions can be estimated accurately without measurementerrors and with the fact that the estimated relative errors ofresults for inclusion B (see Figure 8) are larger than those ofinclusion A However the calculation time required of theDE-PSO is more than that of the SPSO and PSO Thus itcan be concluded that SPSO and DE-PSO can retrieved theoptical properties in a 2Dmedium accurately but with longercalculation time The value of the objective function of PSODE-PSO and SPSO with two inclusions is shown in Figure 9It can be seen that the PSO fall into local convergence quicklyand stop searching In the earlier stage of the inverse processthe objective function of SPSO declines faster than that ofDE-PSO However in the later period of the inverse processthe SPSO almost stops searching and the objective functionof DE-PSO continues declining which leads to the result thatthe retrieving results of DE-PSO aremore accurate than thoseof the SPSO

432 Estimation of Geometrical Parameters In the inverseprocedure the long sampling span will reduce the computa-tional efficiency Hence it is of great significance to select theproper sampling spanThus the sensitivity of radiative signalto the inverse parameters needs to be analyzedThe sensitivitycoefficient is one of themost important characteristic param-eters in the sensitivity analysis which is the first derivativeof the radiative signals to a certain inverse parameter Thesensitivity coefficient is defined as

119903 for the signals D1ndashD4 are shown in Figure 10 The param-eters are set the same as Case 1 described in Section 431 Itdemonstrates that the sensitivity coefficient is relatively largerin the span of 119888119905 isin [0 3m] So this span can be chosen asthe sampling span for inverse analysis The same results areexpected in other cases

In many conditions the shapes and optical properties ofinclusions in the media are known in the actual applicationcases of reconstructing the mediumrsquos inside information Forexample a tumor or cyst in the biological tissue is spherical orspherical-like and the defects in the specimen such as the airpore are mainly the shape of a cube sphere or ellipsoid Inaddition the optical properties of human and animals tissuesin vitro or in vivo are studied thoroughly [45] Consequentlythe geometrical feature and optical properties of inclusionscould be used as a priori information in these cases whichwill reduce the complexity of the reconstruction techniqueand improve the quality and efficiency of the reconstructionresults Therefore on the condition that the inclusion shapeand the optical properties are known the inverse problemturns into the retrieval of the size and location of theinclusions

with 10 measurement errorIt can be seen that the size and location can be esti-

mated accurately using PSO SPSO and DE-PSO withoutmeasurement errors under FI condition Furthermore theresults of DE-PSO are more accurate than those of theSPSO and PSO The relative errors are reasonable even with10 measurement error However it is worth noting thatthe relative errors of DE-PSO with 10 measurement errorare bigger than those of the SPSO which means the SPSOalgorithm is more robust than the DE-PSO

5 ConclusionsIn the present study the standard PSO SPSO and DE-PSOalgorithms were applied to estimate the size location andoptical parameters of the circular inclusions in a 2D rectangu-lar medium The conclusion was obtained that the retrieving

results of absorption coefficient and scattering coefficientunder FI condition are more accurate than those under PIcondition the reason of which is that under FI conditionthe reflectance and transmittance signals are stronger andare carrying more information available In addition theDE-PSO algorithm shows its priority in reconstructing theinclusion properties When only one inclusion is consideredunder both laser incident conditions the resultsrsquo relativeerrors of DE-PSO are smaller than those of the SPSOHowever when estimating the size and location of inclusionmedia the SPSO is more robust than DE-PSO Furthermorecompared with the performance of standard PSO both theSPSO and DE-PSO are proved to be more accurate androbust which have the potential to be applied in the field of2D inverse transient radiative problems

more accurate than those of the PSO Furthermore underFI condition for Case 2 the optical properties of bothinclusions can be estimated accurately without measurementerrors and with the fact that the estimated relative errors ofresults for inclusion B (see Figure 8) are larger than those ofinclusion A However the calculation time required of theDE-PSO is more than that of the SPSO and PSO Thus itcan be concluded that SPSO and DE-PSO can retrieved theoptical properties in a 2Dmedium accurately but with longercalculation time The value of the objective function of PSODE-PSO and SPSO with two inclusions is shown in Figure 9It can be seen that the PSO fall into local convergence quicklyand stop searching In the earlier stage of the inverse processthe objective function of SPSO declines faster than that ofDE-PSO However in the later period of the inverse processthe SPSO almost stops searching and the objective functionof DE-PSO continues declining which leads to the result thatthe retrieving results of DE-PSO aremore accurate than thoseof the SPSO

432 Estimation of Geometrical Parameters In the inverseprocedure the long sampling span will reduce the computa-tional efficiency Hence it is of great significance to select theproper sampling spanThus the sensitivity of radiative signalto the inverse parameters needs to be analyzedThe sensitivitycoefficient is one of themost important characteristic param-eters in the sensitivity analysis which is the first derivativeof the radiative signals to a certain inverse parameter Thesensitivity coefficient is defined as

In many conditions the shapes and optical properties ofinclusions in the media are known in the actual applicationcases of reconstructing the mediumrsquos inside information Forexample a tumor or cyst in the biological tissue is spherical orspherical-like and the defects in the specimen such as the airpore are mainly the shape of a cube sphere or ellipsoid Inaddition the optical properties of human and animals tissuesin vitro or in vivo are studied thoroughly [45] Consequentlythe geometrical feature and optical properties of inclusionscould be used as a priori information in these cases whichwill reduce the complexity of the reconstruction techniqueand improve the quality and efficiency of the reconstructionresults Therefore on the condition that the inclusion shapeand the optical properties are known the inverse problemturns into the retrieval of the size and location of theinclusions

with 10 measurement errorIt can be seen that the size and location can be esti-

mated accurately using PSO SPSO and DE-PSO withoutmeasurement errors under FI condition Furthermore theresults of DE-PSO are more accurate than those of theSPSO and PSO The relative errors are reasonable even with10 measurement error However it is worth noting thatthe relative errors of DE-PSO with 10 measurement errorare bigger than those of the SPSO which means the SPSOalgorithm is more robust than the DE-PSO

5 ConclusionsIn the present study the standard PSO SPSO and DE-PSOalgorithms were applied to estimate the size location andoptical parameters of the circular inclusions in a 2D rectangu-lar medium The conclusion was obtained that the retrieving

results of absorption coefficient and scattering coefficientunder FI condition are more accurate than those under PIcondition the reason of which is that under FI conditionthe reflectance and transmittance signals are stronger andare carrying more information available In addition theDE-PSO algorithm shows its priority in reconstructing theinclusion properties When only one inclusion is consideredunder both laser incident conditions the resultsrsquo relativeerrors of DE-PSO are smaller than those of the SPSOHowever when estimating the size and location of inclusionmedia the SPSO is more robust than DE-PSO Furthermorecompared with the performance of standard PSO both theSPSO and DE-PSO are proved to be more accurate androbust which have the potential to be applied in the field of2D inverse transient radiative problems

more accurate than those of the PSO Furthermore underFI condition for Case 2 the optical properties of bothinclusions can be estimated accurately without measurementerrors and with the fact that the estimated relative errors ofresults for inclusion B (see Figure 8) are larger than those ofinclusion A However the calculation time required of theDE-PSO is more than that of the SPSO and PSO Thus itcan be concluded that SPSO and DE-PSO can retrieved theoptical properties in a 2Dmedium accurately but with longercalculation time The value of the objective function of PSODE-PSO and SPSO with two inclusions is shown in Figure 9It can be seen that the PSO fall into local convergence quicklyand stop searching In the earlier stage of the inverse processthe objective function of SPSO declines faster than that ofDE-PSO However in the later period of the inverse processthe SPSO almost stops searching and the objective functionof DE-PSO continues declining which leads to the result thatthe retrieving results of DE-PSO aremore accurate than thoseof the SPSO

432 Estimation of Geometrical Parameters In the inverseprocedure the long sampling span will reduce the computa-tional efficiency Hence it is of great significance to select theproper sampling spanThus the sensitivity of radiative signalto the inverse parameters needs to be analyzedThe sensitivitycoefficient is one of themost important characteristic param-eters in the sensitivity analysis which is the first derivativeof the radiative signals to a certain inverse parameter Thesensitivity coefficient is defined as

In many conditions the shapes and optical properties ofinclusions in the media are known in the actual applicationcases of reconstructing the mediumrsquos inside information Forexample a tumor or cyst in the biological tissue is spherical orspherical-like and the defects in the specimen such as the airpore are mainly the shape of a cube sphere or ellipsoid Inaddition the optical properties of human and animals tissuesin vitro or in vivo are studied thoroughly [45] Consequentlythe geometrical feature and optical properties of inclusionscould be used as a priori information in these cases whichwill reduce the complexity of the reconstruction techniqueand improve the quality and efficiency of the reconstructionresults Therefore on the condition that the inclusion shapeand the optical properties are known the inverse problemturns into the retrieval of the size and location of theinclusions

with 10 measurement errorIt can be seen that the size and location can be esti-

mated accurately using PSO SPSO and DE-PSO withoutmeasurement errors under FI condition Furthermore theresults of DE-PSO are more accurate than those of theSPSO and PSO The relative errors are reasonable even with10 measurement error However it is worth noting thatthe relative errors of DE-PSO with 10 measurement errorare bigger than those of the SPSO which means the SPSOalgorithm is more robust than the DE-PSO

5 ConclusionsIn the present study the standard PSO SPSO and DE-PSOalgorithms were applied to estimate the size location andoptical parameters of the circular inclusions in a 2D rectangu-lar medium The conclusion was obtained that the retrieving

results of absorption coefficient and scattering coefficientunder FI condition are more accurate than those under PIcondition the reason of which is that under FI conditionthe reflectance and transmittance signals are stronger andare carrying more information available In addition theDE-PSO algorithm shows its priority in reconstructing theinclusion properties When only one inclusion is consideredunder both laser incident conditions the resultsrsquo relativeerrors of DE-PSO are smaller than those of the SPSOHowever when estimating the size and location of inclusionmedia the SPSO is more robust than DE-PSO Furthermorecompared with the performance of standard PSO both theSPSO and DE-PSO are proved to be more accurate androbust which have the potential to be applied in the field of2D inverse transient radiative problems

Figure 11 The comparison of the exact and reconstructedreflectance signals

results of absorption coefficient and scattering coefficientunder FI condition are more accurate than those under PIcondition the reason of which is that under FI conditionthe reflectance and transmittance signals are stronger andare carrying more information available In addition theDE-PSO algorithm shows its priority in reconstructing theinclusion properties When only one inclusion is consideredunder both laser incident conditions the resultsrsquo relativeerrors of DE-PSO are smaller than those of the SPSOHowever when estimating the size and location of inclusionmedia the SPSO is more robust than DE-PSO Furthermorecompared with the performance of standard PSO both theSPSO and DE-PSO are proved to be more accurate androbust which have the potential to be applied in the field of2D inverse transient radiative problems
