Maximum entropy reconstruction of a volume anomaly from pulse scatter data

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5482101
The Boltzmann (non-Burg) Maximum Entropy method is applied to the problem of inferring the shapes of extremely underdetermined volume anomalies from scattered waves on the incident (plane) wave side of the volume probed. The relevance of the entropy concept for this problem is shown. The efficacy of two versions of the method (radiating source and ray path) is indicated by two-dimensional synthetic-data problems involving only scalar wave displacement and no shear/compressional wave mixing.
