Resolving sources beyond the diffraction limit is important in imaging, communications, and metrology. Current image-based methods of super-resolution require phase information (either of the source points or an added filter) and perfect…

Ground based long-range passive imaging systems often suffer from degraded image quality due to a turbulent atmosphere. While methods exist for removing such turbulent distortions, many are limited to static sequences which cannot be…

Recovering scene color from images captured in scattering media is a fundamental inverse problem in optical imaging. Yet the problem is intrinsically ill-posed as multiple solutions can explain the same observation, and prediction error…

Classical methods for X-ray computed tomography are based on the assumption that the X-ray source intensity is known, but in practice, the intensity is measured and hence uncertain. Under normal operating conditions, when the exposure time…

We study the seismic inverse problem for the recovery of subsurface properties in acoustic media. In order to reduce the ill-posedness of the problem, the heterogeneous wave speed parameter to be recovered is represented using a limited…

We present stability estimates for the inverse source problem of the stochastic Helmholtz equation in two and three dimensions by either near-field or far-field data. The random source is assumed to be a microlocally isotropic generalized…

In a previous paper [Jiao, Stillinger and Torquato, PRE 81, 011105 (2010)], we considered the geometrical ambiguity of pair statistics associated with point configurations. Here we focus on the analogous problem for heterogeneous media…

This paper concerns time-harmonic inverse source problems with a single far-field pattern in two dimensions, where the source term is compactly supported in an a priori given inhomogeneous background medium. For convex-polygonal source…

In non-destructive imaging the information about the spatial pattern of a samples interior has to be transferred to the sample surface by certain waves, e.g. ultrasound or electromagnetic waves. At the sample surface these waves can be…

(Abridged) We present a new method for detecting and measuring compact sources in conditions of intense, and highly variable, fore/background. While all most commonly used packages carry out the source detection over the signal image, our…

In this paper, we show for the first time the increasing stability of the inverse source problem for the n-dimensional Helmholtz equation at multiple wave numbers, which is different from the two-or three-dimensional Helmholtz equation. In…

Reflection statistics have not been well studied for optical random media whose mean refractive indices do not match with the refractive indices of their surrounding media. Here, we theoretically study how this refractive index mismatch…

Given near or far field wave measurements generated by some unknown time- and space-dependent acoustic source, we seek to rapidly determine a domain in space-time, as small as possible, that contains the support of a source radiating these…

In this paper, we extend the recent body of work on planning under uncertainty to include the fact that sensors may not provide any measurement owing to misdetection. This is caused either by adverse environmental conditions that prevent…
