Remote sensing applications to acoustical tomography: case of unaccounted objects

Abstract

The paper considers the problem of remote sensing of the ocean by a point isotropic source. To determine the volume scattering coefficient in a weakly scattering medium, the inverse problem is formulated. For the calculation of the received signal taking into account acoustic noise, caused by a distributed sound source, an equation is obtained. Computational experiments are performed to analyze the solution of the inverse problem in the case when unaccounted acoustic objects are in the medium.
