Abstract

Accurate reconstruction of magnetic fields in inaccessible regions is vital for many high-precision experiments in physics. Traditional methods, such as spherical harmonic expansion, often suffer from truncation errors that limit their precision. This study proposes an advanced Physics-Informed Neural Network (PINN) framework for high-precision 3D magnetic field mapping. Unlike conventional data-driven models, the proposed PINN integrates Maxwell's equations directly into the loss function, enforcing divergence-free and curl-free conditions across the entire domain. A key innovation is the inclusion of explicit physics-residual losses at measurement locations, ensuring rigorous physical consistency beyond random collocation sampling. Validation using simulated data achieves a reconstruction accuracy of 10410^{-4}, a tenfold improvement over existing PINN benchmarks. Furthermore, experimental validation using a custom coil assembly demonstrates robust reconstruction with sub-percent relative accuracy, reaching the 10310^{-3} level under ambient conditions. This AI-driven methodology provides a robust, high-precision solution for field monitoring and measurement in complex experimental environments where direct sensor placement is restricted.
