Abstract We discuss simple numerical schemes, termed continuation schemes, for detecting the location and shape of a scatterer embedded in a host acoustic medium, when considering scant measurements of the scattered acoustic pressure in the vicinity (near- or far-field) of the obstacle. The detection is based on incomplete information, i.e., the measurement stations are distributed in the backscatter region and do not circumscribe the sought scatterer. We consider sound-hard scatterers, and use boundary integral equations for the underlying numerical scheme. We favor amplitude-based misfit functionals, and use frequency- and directionality-continuation schemes to resolve the scatterer's location More >
