  • Source localization in cluttered acoustic waveguides 
    Issa, Leila (Rice University, 2018-05-02)
    Mode coupling due to scattering by weak random inhomogeneities leads to the loss of coherence in the wave field measured a long distances of propagation. This in turn leads to the deterioration of coherent source localization ...
  • Imaging in cluttered acoustic waveguides 
    Issa, Leila (Rice University, 2018-05-02)
    We consider an inverse problem for the acoustic scalar wave equation in a cluttered waveguide. The problem is to find the location of sources or scatterers, given measurements of the pressure at a remote array of transducers. ...
