The proposed methodology includes a feedback between high- and low-resolution reconstructions in order to correlate the iterative reconstruction steps. Towards this end, the appealing features of a Particle Swarm-based algorithm are fully exploited. Such an integration is aimed at better matching a suitable representation of the unknowns with the global optimization properties of the stochastic optimizer to allow faithful reconstructions. date: 2011-01 date_type: published institution: University of Trento department: informaticat refereed: FALSE referencetext: [1] M.
