To address the inherent ill-posed nature of the inverse problem, we advocate the use of a trained latent representation of surfaces as the generative prior. This prior enjoys excellent expressivity within the given class of shapes, and meanwhile, the latent dimensionality is low, which greatly facilitates the computation. Thus, the admissible manifold of surfaces is realistic and the resulting optimization problem is less ill-posed. We employ the shape derivative to evolve the latent surface representation, by minimizing the loss, and we provide a local convergence analysis of a gradient descent type algorithm to a stationary point of the loss. We present several numerical examples, including also backscattered and phaseless data, to showcase the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm. date: 2024-05-02 date_type: published publisher: IOP Publishing official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1088/1361-6420/ad466a full_text_type: other language: eng verified: verified_manual elements_id: 2274679 doi: 10.1088/1361-6420/ad466a lyricists_name: Jin, Bangti lyricists_id: BJINX59 actors_name: Flynn, Bernadette actors_id: BFFLY94 actors_role: owner full_text_status: restricted publication: Inverse Problems issn: 0266-5611 citation: Chen, Junqing; Jin, Bangti; Liu, Haibo; (2024) Solving inverse obstacle scattering problem with latent surface representations.
