6 Evaluation of Reconstruction Errors and Artifacts Estimating the errors associated with the reconstructed emissivity profile still an opened problem qualitative interpretation quantitative analysis Accurate modelling of projection noise propagation Monte Carlo solutions (using a large number of noise realizations) impractical: - High computational burden - Multiple noise realizations are generally unavailable for JET gamma and neutron tomography Analytic solutions, applicable on a routine basis, would be very advantageous - A few number of approaches, for limited data tomography developed Image quality - depends also on: - the constraints imposed by the restrictive measuring geometry (which leads to highly limited data sets) - specific experimental conditions Main sources of artefacts: - use of magnetic equilibrium profiles for compensating the lack of experimental data. - neutron induced gamma-ray background - medical field (PET, SPECT, theranostics) - expectationmaximization class of methods - dedicated to specific algorithms except statistical bootstrapping based methods T. Craciunescu et al. TM IAEA FDPVA 2015 Nice, France 1-3 June 2015 Page 6

7 Maximum Likelihood method (ML) Assumption: Emission - a Poisson process g = Hf + n g g m - sample from a Poisson distribution g - expected value The probability of obtaining the measurement g = g m m = 1,, N d if the image is f = f n n = 1,, N p is given by the likelihood function: L g f = m 1 g k! g g k exp g f ML = argmax f L g f f n k+1 = f k n g s m n m j H mj f j k H mn Enables the manipulation of the reconstructed image at each iteration, for inserting a priori knowledge T. Craciunescu et al. TM IAEA FDPVA 2015 Nice, France 1-3 June 2015 Page 7

8 Maximum Likelihood method (ML) Smoothness on magnetic surfaces (given by plasma equilibrium) Implemented as an 1-D average filtering, using a sliding window which moves along the magnetic contour lines Computing time (MATLAB): ~ 1s/iteration when running on JET computers Typically: iterations Better coverage of the reconstruction domain obtained by introducing additional virtual lines of sight Suitable for inter-shot analysis Most time consuming step: smoothing along contour lines Magnetic contour lines are unfolded to straight lines in order to allow averaging using a sliding window Implies projection interpolation T.

10 Modelling the projection noise propagation Projection resampling by interpolation - Complex algebra because of the need to keep calculating correlation terms, even when all of the uncertainties in the measured variables are uncorrelated - Optimal choice - Lagrange interpolation: 2 u g x = N d i=1 L 2 i x u 2 gi, where: L m x = N d n=1,n m x x n x m x n Iterative update of the ML reconstructed image - Reformulation of the ML iterative formula: y k = ln f k y k+1 = y k + ln 1 s i j=1 N d H T ij g j H f k j An expectation value of y (k) can be defined: E y (k) f = ln a (k) ε (k) - the deviation of y (k) from the expectation value y (k) = ln a (k) + ε (k) T. Craciunescu et al. TM IAEA FDPVA 2015 Nice, France 1-3 June 2015 Page 10

11 Modelling the projection noise propagation Approx. #1 Noise in the reconstruction is small compared to the mean reconstruction Approx. #2 The projection of the current estimate is close to the noise-free projection f k = a k exp ε k a k 1 + ε k Separating the noise from the signal: Ha k Hf Works well for well conditioned objective function, with fast convergence f (k+1) = f k diag f k diag s 1 H T diag H f k 1 g H T I f k can be retrieved by running the ML algorithm with noisefree data ε k+1 = B k n + I A k ε k rule for finding the random noise in the current estimate. A k = diag f k diag s 1 H T diag H f k 1 H B k = diag f k diag s 1 H T diag H f k 1 A k = diag f k diag s 1 H T diag H f k 2 diag g H For preconditioners that are explicitly dependent on projection data T. Craciunescu et al. TM IAEA FDPVA 2015 Nice, France 1-3 June 2015 Page 11

12 Modelling the projection noise propagation Covariance matrix Noise free initial estimate: ε (0) = 0 ε (k) = U (k) n, where: U (k+1) = B (k) + I A (k) U (k) Projection elements g Samples from a Poisson distribution. K ε (k) - covariance matrix for ε (k) : For a reasonable large number of photons/neutrons: their distribution is approximated by a normal law ε (k) will follow also a normal distribution: (k) K ε = U (k) (k) T K U K - covariance matrix for the data: K = diag g p(ε k f = 2πN K ε k exp 2 ε k T k K ε 1 ε k T.

14 HXR emissivity reconstruction HXR emissivity reconstruction for runaway electrons (RE) studies Time, spatial and energy resolved measurements of bremsstrahlung originated in interaction of fast electrons with plasma spceies, gas puff or injected pellet. Allows the observation of RE in flight before their interaction with the plasma facing components Detailed data on temporal evolution and spatial structure of RE beams during disruptions. A. Shevelev, et al., AIP Conf. Proc. 1612, 125 (2014) Monitoring of runaway electrons (RE) is one of the most important issues for the safe tokamak operation. T. Craciunescu et al.

20 Conclusions ML reconstruction - suitable for numerical evaluation of the statistical properties of the uncertainties in gamma and neutron emissivity reconstructions. The methodology takes into account the additional techniques introduced in the reconstruction process for tackling with the limited data set: projection resampling smoothness regularization depending on the magnetic field profiles. Analytical uncertainty evaluation can be applied on a routine basis. Computation time - compatible with inter-shot analysis Artefacts related to the experimental conditions for recording the projection data and to the restrictive measuring geometry should be identified and quantified for accurate tomography.
