EIT on symmetric domains has symmetric data: rotating the conductivity rotates the measurements. Networks that respect these symmetries need fewer parameters and less data. And EIT domains are rarely rectangles: networks for EIT must cope with arbitrary shapes, meshes and uneven resolution.

Reading order.

  1. The symmetries: Symmetries of the EIT Problem, with the Dihedral Group D4 of the square as example.
  2. Invariance and equivariance: Invariant and Equivariant Functions, Reynolds Operator.
  3. Architectures: Invariant Filter Banks, Equivariant Convolutions.
  4. Networks for EIT domains: Networks on EIT Domains, with Masked and Partial Convolutions, Conformal Transplantation of Networks and Graph Convolutions on Finite Element Meshes.
