Bayesian Experimental Design for Computed Tomography with the Linearised Deep Image Prior

We investigate adaptive design based on a single sparse pilot scan for generating effective scanning strategies for computed tomography reconstruction. We propose a novel approach using the linearised deep image prior. It allows incorporating information from the pilot measurements into the angle selection criteria, while maintaining the tractability of a conjugate Gaussian-linear model. On a synthetically generated dataset with preferential directions, linearised DIP design allows reducing the number of scans by up to 30% relative to an equidistant angle baseline.
