1Measurement precision
If manual adjustment of regularization terms and parameters is used for optimal image reconstruction, then image quality can be improved, but reconstruction time and complexity increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The system employs an adaptive regularization term optimization module that automatically selects and adjusts regularization terms and parameters based on the imaging object characteristics and system matrix properties. This self-service mechanism eliminates manual intervention, achieving optimal image reconstruction quality while significantly reducing reconstruction time and operational complexity.

The optimization module dynamically changes regularization parameters based on input data characteristics. By automatically adjusting parameter values according to the specific imaging scenario, the system achieves high-quality reconstruction without requiring manual parameter tuning for each case, thereby reducing time loss while maintaining precision.
2Measurement precision
If multiple regularization terms are used to constrain the solving process, then reconstruction accuracy may improve, but the complexity of selecting and adjusting parameters increases
Solution Approach 1:
The adaptive regularization term optimization module automatically performs parameter selection and adjustment without manual intervention. It evaluates multiple regularization terms and their parameters, selecting the optimal combination based on the imaging object and system characteristics, thereby reducing selection complexity while maintaining or improving reconstruction accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The optimization module incorporates feedback mechanisms that evaluate reconstruction results and automatically adjust regularization parameters accordingly. This closed-loop approach simplifies the parameter selection process by using iterative feedback to converge on optimal parameters, reducing the complexity of manual parameter tuning while achieving high accuracy.
