Workload:

  • 190 hours private studies
  • 150 hours in-classroom work
  • 20 hours exam preparation

Contents of teaching:

  • Introduction to inverse and ill-posed problems on the basis of selected examples (including seismology, impedance tomography, heat conduction, computed tomography, acoustics)
  • Concept of ill-posedness of the inverse problem (Hadamard)
  • Singular value decomposition and generalized inverse
  • Regularization methods (eg Tikhonov, Phillips, Ivanov)
  • Deconvolution
  • Image restoration (deblurring, defocusing)
  • Statistical methods (Bayes, maximum likelihood)
  • Computed Tomography, Magnetic Particle Imaging

Qualification-goals/Competencies:

  • Students are able to explain the concept of ill-posedness of the inverse problem and distinguish given inverse problems regarding good or bad posedness.
  • They are able to formulate inverse problems of mathematical imaging and solve (approximate) with suitable numerical methods.
  • They can assess the condition of a problem and the stability of a method.
  • They master different regularization methods and are able to apply them to practical problems.
  • They know methods to determine a suitable regularization.
  • They can use methods of image reconstruction and restoration on real measurement data.
  • Students are able to explain the concepts of forward and inverse kinematics for the examples of 3-joint and 6-joint robots.
  • They are able to apply methods of medical robot systems and to simple practical applications.
  • Students are able to transfer methods of motion learning to simple practical problems.
  • Students are able to modify templates for dynamic calculations in order to create the calculations for their own constructions.

Grading through:

  • Written or oral exam as announced by the examiner
