The linear inverse source and scattering problems are studied from the perspective of compressed sensing, in particular the idea that sufficient incoherence and sparsity guarantee uniqueness of the solution. By introducing the sensor as…
Imaging through complex scattering media is severely limited by aberrations and scattering which obscure images and reduce resolution. Confocal and temporal gatings partly filter out multiple scattering but are severely degraded by…
