✦ Synopsis
The usage of inverse models to derive parameters of interest from measurements is widespread in science and technology. The operational usage of many inverse models became feasible just by emulation of the inverse model via a neural net (NN).
This paper shows how NNs can be used to improve inversion accuracy by minimizing the sum of error squares. The procedure is very fast as it takes advantage of the Jacobian which is a byproduct of the NN calculation. An example from remote sensing is shown. It is also possible to take into account a non-diagonal covariance matrix of the measurement to derive the covariance matrix of the retrieved parameters.
