In this paper, we take into account a two-dimensional inverse scattering problem for localizing small electromagnetic anomalies when they are surrounded by small, randomly distributed electromagnetic scatterers. Generally, subspace migration is considered to be an improved version of Kirchhoff migration; however, for the problem considered here, simulation results have confirmed that Kirchhoff migration is better than subspace migration, though the reasons for this have not been investigated theoretically. In order to explain theoretical reason, we explored that the imaging function of Kirchhoff migration can be expressed by the size, permittivity, permeability of anomalies and random scatterers, and the Bessel function of the first kind of order zero and one. Considered approach is based on the fact that the far-field pattern can be represented using an asymptotic expansion formula in the presence of such anomalies and random scatterers. We also present results of numerical simulations to validate the discovered imaging function structures.

The inverse scattering problem for acoustic waves in shallow oceans are different from that in the spaces of R2 and R3 in the way that the “propagating” far-field pattern can only carry the information from the N +1 propagating modes. This loss of information leads to the fact that the far-field pattern operator is not injective. In this paper, we will present some properties of the far-field pattern operator and use this information to construct an injective far-field pattern operator in a suitable subspace of L2(∂Ω). Based on this construction an optimal scheme for solving the inverse scattering problem is presented using the minimizing Tikhonov functional.

AbstractThe inverse scattering problem considered in this paper is to reconstruct multiple sound-soft obstacles from one incident wave and its far field pattern. Based on the ideas of the Kirsch–Kress method and the hybrid Newton method, three variant Newton-type methods are developed for reconstructing the shape of multiple obstacles. The proposed hybrid Newton-type methods I and II can choose auxiliary curves adaptively, and do not require them to be contained in the unknown multiple obstacles. The proposed hybrid Newton-type method III is simpler than the hybrid Newton method developed by Kress in terms of computational complexity since it adopts quasi-Newton iterations in numerical reconstructions. Results of numerical examples show that the proposed methods, especially the one with both adaptively choosing auxiliary curves and quasi-Newton iterations, are more efficient and stable for reconstructing multiple obstacles.

In this study, we consider a sampling-type algorithm for the fast localization of small electromagnetic inhomogeneities from measured far-field pattern data in the limited-aperture inverse scattering problem. For this purpose, we designed an indicator function based on the structure of left- and right-singular vectors of a multistatic response matrix, the elements of which were measured far-field pattern data. We then rigorously investigated the mathematical structure of the indicator function in terms of purely dielectric permittivity and magnetic permeability contrast cases by establishing a relationship with an infinite series of Bessel functions of an integer order of the first kind and a range of incident and observation directions before exploring various intrinsic properties of the algorithm, including its feasibility and limitations. Simulation results with synthetic data corrupted by random noise are presented to support the theoretical results.

We consider the inverse-scattering problem of determining the shape of a partly coated obstacle in R3 from a knowledge of the incident time-harmonic electromagnetic plane wave and the electric far-field pattern of the scattered wave. A justification is given of the linear sampling method in this case and numerical examples are provided showing the practicality of our method.

The inverse problem we will consider in this paper has its origins in the following problem connected with the scattering of acoustic waves in a nonhomogeneous medium. Let an incoming plane acoustic wave of frequency ω moving in the direction of the z axis be scattered off a “soft” sphere Ω of radius one which is surrounded by a pocket of rarefied or condensed air in which the local speed of sound is given by c(r) where r = |x| for x ∈ R3. Let us(x)eiωt be the velocity potential of the scattered wave and let r, θ, φ be spherical coordinates in R3. Then from a knowledge of the far field pattern f(θ, φ, λ) for λ = ω/c0 contained in some finite interval 0 < λ0 ≤ λ ≤ λ1,, we would like to determine the unknown function c(r).

SynopsisLet D be a bounded simply connected domain in the plane and Ω the unit disk. Let F(Θ;k) be the far field pattern arising from the scattering of an incoming plane wave by the obstacle D and let an(k) denote the nth Fourier coefficient of F. Then if f conformally maps ℝ2\D onto ℝ2\Ω, a “moment” problem is derived which expresses an(k) in terms of f−1 for small values of the wave number k. The solution of this moment problem then gives the Laurent coefficients of f−1 and hence ∂D.

It is well-known that subspace migration is a stable and effective non-iterative imaging technique in inverse scattering problem. However, for a proper application, a priori information of the shape of target must be estimated. Without this consideration, one cannot retrieve good results via subspace migration. In this paper, we identify the mathematical structure of single- and multi-frequency subspace migration without any a priori of unknown targets and explore its certain properties. This is based on the fact that elements of so-called multi-static response (MSR) matrix can be represented as an asymptotic expansion formula. Furthermore, based on the examined structure, we improve subspace migration and consider the multi-frequency subspace migration. Various results of numerical simulation with noisy data support our investigation.

AbstractWe study the inverse problem of recovering the scatterer shape from the far-field pattern(FFP) in the presence of noise. Furthermore, only a discrete partial aperture is usually known. This problem is ill-posed and is frequently addressed using regularization. Instead, we propose to use a direct approach denoising the FFP using a filtering technique. The effectiveness of the technique is studied on a scatterer with the shape of the ellipse with a tower. The forward scattering problem is solved using the finite element method (FEM). The numerical FFP is additionally corrupted by Gaussian noise. The shape parameters are found based on a least-square error estimator. If ũ∞ is a perturbation of the FFP then we attempt to find Γ, the scatterer shape, which minimizes ∣∣ũ∞ − ũ∞∣∣ using the conjugate gradient method for the denoised FFP

Abstract This paper is concerned with uniqueness in inverse electromagnetic scattering with phaseless far-field pattern at a fixed frequency. In our previous work (2018,SIAM J. Appl. Math. 78, 3024–3039), by adding a known reference ball into the acoustic scattering system, it was proved that the impenetrable obstacle and the index of refraction of an inhomogeneous medium can be uniquely determined by the acoustic phaseless far-field patterns generated by infinitely many sets of superpositions of two plane waves with different directions at a fixed frequency. In this paper, we extend these uniqueness results to the inverse electromagnetic scattering case. The phaseless far-field data are the modulus of the tangential component in the orientations ${\boldsymbol{e}}_\phi $ and ${\boldsymbol{e}}_\theta $, respectively, of the electric far-field pattern measured on the unit sphere and generated by infinitely many sets of superpositions of two electromagnetic plane waves with different directions and polarizations. Our proof is mainly based on Rellich’s lemma and the Stratton–Chu formula for radiating solutions to the Maxwell equations.

This paper is concerned with the scattering problem of time-harmonic acoustic plane waves by a union of a crack and a penetrable inhomogeneous medium with compact support. The well-posedness of the direct problem is established by the variational method. An uniqueness result for the inverse problem is proved, that is, both the crack and the inhomogeneous medium can be uniquely determined by a knowledge of the far-field pattern for incident plane waves. The linear sampling method is employed to recover the location and shape of the combined scatterer. It is worth noting that we make the first step on reconstructing a mixed-type scatterer of a crack and an inhomogeneous medium by the linear sampling method.
