Here, an enhanced genetic algorithm based reconstruction technique is proposed that is capable of detecting the shape, size and location of multiple types of inclusions of known physical properties in a given test specimen. Preliminary results are found to be better than those reported with MART1. Simulations show that the algorithm is consistent for a wide range of grid sizes and geometries of inclusion(s). A logarithmic time complexity analysis gives a linear relationship between number of unknowns and reconstruction times, thus establishing the predictability of the algorithm.}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 10th Annual Conference on Genetic and Evolutionary Computation}, pages = {1705–1706}, numpages = {2}, keywords = {ultrasonic tomography, time of flight, block crossover, genetic algorithms, reconstruction}, location = {Atlanta, GA, USA}, series = {GECCO '08} }
