Abstract

We present a time domain algorithm for computation of the maximum likelihood estimate of the location of a known scattering object from wide-band scattering data acquired in a suite of scattering experiments. The algorithm consists of a three-step procedure: (1) data filtering, (2) time-domain backpropagation, and (3) coherent summation and is implemented via a number of forward and inverse Radon transforms integrated into a tomographic scheme. A computer simulation is included for illustration purposes
