TLDR
In this paper, a generalized dual space indicator method for imaging an unknown obstacle in ocean environments is presented, based on the observation that the combination (weighted integration) of the measured scattered field can approximate the Green function very well when the source point is inside the obstacle, but not so well if the source is outside the obstacle.
Abstract
This paper presents a generalized dual space indicator method for imaging an obstacle in ocean environments. The method is based on the observation that the combination (weighted integration) of the measured scattered field can approximate the Green function very well when the Green function's source point is inside the obstacle, but not so well when the source is outside the obstacle. We set up an integral equation whose right-hand side is the Green function with a source point from a searching region. From our numerical experiments, we notice that the norm of the solution of the integral equation has local extrema that lie inside the unknown obstacle. Plotting the norm as a function of the source point in the searching region, and filtering out the region with no local extrema of the norm, we obtain a good image of the unknown obstacle. Imaging algorithms and numerical examples are presented.

The linear sampling method in a waveguide: A modal formulation

TL;DR: In this article, the linear sampling method used to retrieve obstacles in a 2D or 3D acoustic waveguide has been studied, and it is shown that the numerical reconstruction of obstacles by using the far field is feasible, even by using a few incident waves.

On the Mathematical Basis of the Linear Sampling Method

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors give a mathematical justification of the linear sampling method for arbitrary z by using the theory of integral equations of first kind with singular kernels, and show that a linear integral equation has a solution that becomes unbounded as a parameter z approaches the boundary of the scatterer D from inside D. However, except for the transmission problem, the case where z is in the exterior of D is unresolved.

A simple method for solving inverse scattering problems in the resonance region

TL;DR: In this paper, an inversion scheme for two-dimensional inverse scattering problems in the resonance region is proposed, which does not use nonlinear optimization methods and is relatively independent of the geometry and physical properties of the scatterer, assuming that the far field pattern corresponding to observation angle and plane waves incident at angle is known for all.
