Abstract :
Summary form only given. During the past century, major advances have been made in statistical electromagnetic theory and applications in imaging and remote sensing of objects in geophysical and biological media, medical optics, ultrasound imaging, object detection, characterization of composite materials, and wireless communications. This paper discusses several areas of research starting with historical highlights and covering some of the most recent developments.
