Title: Data-driven models for ultrasound measurement applications
Abstract:
Ultrasound is widely used in both biomedical and industrial applications as a tool for non-invasive or non-destructive assessments. Historically, a much of the research has focused on physical modelling of wave propagation phenomena. Although this approach generally provides more insight to the underlying mechanisms, this approach is not always feasible for all measurement application. Simply put, measurement is about “inverse modelling”, i.e., inferring information from observable quantities. If the forward problem, i.e., the modelling, becomes complex is rarely (never) any easier. In other words, for problems where the physical modelling approach is not really feasible, should we go for a purely data-driven/empirical approach? In this talk, I will walk you through the journey my group has made over the past 20+ years, from purely empirical modelling, borrowing from the field of Chemometrics, to data-driven models constrained by underlying physical properties
Biography:
Johan Carlson received his M.Sc. in Computer Science and Engineering, and his PhD in Industrial Electronics from Luleå University of Technology (LTU), Sweden, in 1998 and 2002, respectively. Since 2012, he has been a professor in Signal Processing at LTU. His main research interest is in signal processing methods for ultrasound measurement problems, specifically in materials characterization and non-destructive testing.
