Physics Informed Neural Networks for Simulating Radiative Transfer

Abstract

We propose a novel machine learning algorithm for simulating radiative transfer. Our algorithmis based on physics informed neural networks (PINNs), which are trained by minimizing the residualof the underlying radiative tranfer equations. We present extensive experiments and theoretical errorestimates to demonstrate that PINNs provide a very easy to implement, fast, robust and accuratemethod for simulating radiative transfer. We also present a PINN based algorithm for simulatinginverse problems for radiative transfer efficiently.
