The presence of a scattering medium in the imaging path between an object and an observer is known to severely limit the visual acuity of the imaging system. We present an approach to circumvent the deleterious effects of scattering, by…

This paper is concerned with the electromagnetic inverse scattering problem that aims to determine the location and shape of anisotropic scatterers from far field data (at a fixed frequency). We study the orthogonality sampling method which…
