A Differentiable Framework for Full and Phaseless Data Inversion Using Neural Implicit Contrast-Source Representation

arXiv:2508.10555v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: In this study, we extend the contrast source inversion to a fully differentiable, unsupervised framework based on a neural implicit representation of the contrast source. Specifically, instead of a pixel-wise discrete representation, the contrast source is parameterized by a lightweight residual multilayer perceptron (ResMLP) as a continuous neural field conditioned on spatial coordinates and transmitter settings. This continuous parameterization provides a more flexible representation of the contrast source and improves reconstruction
