<strong>ACTA</strong> <strong>TECHNICA</strong> <strong>CORVINIENSIS</strong> – BULLETIN <strong>of</strong> ENGINEERINGIn case <strong>of</strong> forward problem, the rectangularmodel is divided into 1024 square cells <strong>of</strong>dimension 0.3cm X 0.3cm and the saline waterregion is divided into 32 cells <strong>of</strong> dimension0.6cm X 0.6cm. During the inverse problem, therectangular model together with saline waterregion is divided into 324 equal square cells 0.6cm × 0.6 cm. The measurement set contains 288independent data [3].During the iterative reconstruction, the complexpermittivity values <strong>of</strong> the cells filled up withsaline water were assumed to be known, thusrendering the problem <strong>of</strong> estimating thecomplex dielectric constants <strong>of</strong> the remaining256 cells.RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONSa) b)Figure 4. Reconstructed model with λ= 02 (a) Realpart (b) Imaginary partAfter applying the different image Arithmeticfilters and image enhancement filters to theabove reconstructed model, the quality <strong>of</strong> thereconstructed model have been improved interms <strong>of</strong> noise as shown in the Figure 5, Figure 6and Figure 7.To apply the reconstruction algorithm, it wasinitially assumed that the biological medium isfilled up with muscle only. The received fields atdifferent receiver locations were computed foreach transmitter position.In our earlier works, the regularizing parameterwas monotonically decreasing by a factor <strong>of</strong> 10.In this paper when the same decrement factor isused, the reconstructed model was notsatisfactory as shown in the figure 3. Instead,when the decrement factor is chosen as 2, thereconstructed model is quite acceptable. So, thedecrement factor for the regularizing parameteris chosen as 2 here.a) b)Figure 5.

Imaginary partAs usual, the only priori information we haveused in our algorithm is that the real part <strong>of</strong> thecomplex dielectric constant cannot be negativeand the imaginary part cannot be positive.Figure 4 (a) and Figure 4(b) shows the real partand imaginary part <strong>of</strong> the reconstructed modelwith our present algorithm with λ =2.a) b)Figure 6.
