Efficient Computation of the Inverse Gradient on Irregular Domains

Abstract

The inverse gradient problem, finding a scalar field f with a gradient near a given vector field <b xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">g</b> on some bounded and connected domain Ω ϵ R <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&#x01d4c3;</sup> , can be solved by means of a Poisson equation with inhomogeneous Neumann boundary conditions. We present an elementary derivation of this partial differential equation and an efficient multigrid-based method to numerically compute the inverse gradient on non-rectangular domains. The utility of the method is demonstrated by a range of important medical applications such as phase unwrapping, pressure computation, inverse deformation fields, and fiber bundle tracking.
