We propose a way to favorably employ neural networks in the field of non-destructive testing using Full Waveform Inversion (FWI). The presented methodology discretizes the unknown material distribution in the domain with a neural network within an adjoint optimization. To further increase efficiency of the FWI, pretrained neural networks are used to provide a good starting point for the inversion. This reduces the number of iterations in the Full Waveform Inversion for specific, yet generalizable settings.
