Title: Transport-based imaging in random media

Abstract:

We consider the detection and imaging of inclusions buried in highly  
scattering random media.  In such multiple scattering environments,  
the coherent wave fields are too weak to be used for imaging  
purposes.  We thus propose to model the inclusion as a parameter in  
the macroscopic radiative transport equations and consider the  
imaging problem as an inverse transport problem.  Model-based  
iterative schemes are then used to solve the inverse problem.   
Numerical reconstructions from both synthetic and experimental data  
will be presented.

***The talk will be followed by refreshments in Ryerson 255***
