An iterative scheme for imaging acoustic obstacle from phaseless total-field data

Abstract

In this paper, we consider the inverse problem of determining the location and the shape of a sound-soft or sound-hard obstacle from the modulus of the total-field collected on a measured curve for an incident point source. We propose a system of nonlinear integral equations based iterative scheme to reconstruct both the location and the shape of the obstacle. Several validating numerical examples are provided to illustrate the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed inversion algorithm.
