Abstract
Full wave 3D ultrasound tomography (3D-UT) is shown to be exactly congruent and ‘dual’ to training a gauge equivariant convolutional deep neural network (cDNN) with Lie group SO(2)xR applied to the weights (not feature vectors) and unusual ‘activation functions’. This explains high efficiency on NIVIDIA GPUs and indicates cross application of techniques from 3D-UT to cDNN and vice versa. ‘Backpropagation’ in both arenas is mathematically similar and the weights of the cDNN are the resulting image in 3D-UT. Data acquisition (DA) scenarios are interpreted as mappings from the Lie group manifold, and the 2-sphere, to the N-torus, with ramifications.
