| Summary: | This paper focuses on reducing energy consumption in ultrasound tomography by utilizing machine learning techniques. The core idea is to investigate the feasibility of minimizing the number of measurement sensors without sacrificing prediction accuracy. This article evaluates the quality of reconstructions derived from data collected through two or three measurement channels. In subsequent steps, machine learning models are developed to predict the number, location, and size of the objects. A reliable object detection method is introduced, requiring less information than traditional signal analysis from multiple channels. Various machine learning models were tested and compared to validate the approach, with most demonstrating high accuracy or <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><msup><mi>R</mi><mn>2</mn></msup></semantics></math></inline-formula> scores in their respective tasks. By reducing the number of sensors, the goal is to lower energy usage while maintaining high precision in localization. This study contributes to the ongoing research on energy efficiency in sensing and localization, especially in environments where resource optimization is crucial, such as remote or resource-limited settings. |
