Abstract :
Imaging through discrete random media is an important problem in several applications such as medicine, remote sensing, and security. Discrete random media create scattering which deteriorates the quality of the image and there have been several efforts to mitigate the problem. We propose an array processing method called coherence tomography array (CTA) whose algorithm is derived from that of optical coherence tomography. We use the Monte Carlo method to simulate the imaging scenarios in random scattering media. The results show that CTA can be used to alleviate the clutter effects from discrete random scatterers.
