The Linear Sampling Method for Data Generated by Small Random Scatterers

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

We present an extension of the linear sampling method for solving the sound-soft inverse scattering problem in two dimensions with data generated by randomly distributed small scatterers. The theoretical justification of our novel sampling method is based on a rigorous asymptotic model, a modified Helmholtz--Kirchhoff identity, and our previous work on the linear sampling method for random sources. Our numerical implementation incorporates boundary elements, singular value decomposition, Tikhonov regularization, and Morozov's discrepancy principle. We showcase the robustness and accuracy of our algorithms with a series of numerical experiments.
