Summary
This paper deals with a reconstruction of random media. The optimization with statistical descriptors (namely two-point probability function and two-point lineal path function) and minimizing the errors between the statistical descriptors evaluated on the original medium and on the reconstructed surrogate medium are utilized. AS a result of doubts concerning the setting of the weights in the weighted-sum method, a purely multi-objective optimization routine is selected, specifically the non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II. The volume constraint is satisfied using a special mutation operator that interchanges only pixels from different phases which is the only operator used in the work described in this paper. As a result of the high computational demands, the lineal path was evaluated in a parallel fashion utilizing graphical processing units. The main contribution is in the testing of the proposed methodology on several benchmark images.
