Abstract:  In the Bayesian approach to controlled-source electromagnetic imaging, the objective is to infer the conductivity random field based on finite, noisy measurements of the electromagnetic field. When the unknown field is represented in some basis, we talk about distributed, parametric uncertainty. We present a methodology to solve the pertinent non-linear, high-dimensional Bayesian inverse problem by addressing the numerical solution of the parametric, deterministic Maxwell's equations in combination with adaptive sparse-grid quadrature and model order reduction.
