Description

TOMOPT is a software package designed to optimize the geometric configuration and specifications of detectors intended for tomography using cosmic-ray muon scattering. Differentiable programming is utilized in this software to model muon interactions with detectors and scanned volumes, infer volume properties, and perform loss minimization in an optimization cycle. In this paper, we introduce the implementation in TOMOPT of a case study related to cargo scanning at border controls.
