TOMOGRAPHY AND REMOTE SENSING INVERSE PROBLEMS
.
G.A.Ryzhikov and V.N.TroyanThe book describes the state of the art in remote sensing inverse problems and their interpretation in terms of computerized tomography.
The introductory chapter formulates some basic principles of functional analysis, mathematical statistics and approaches to solving the ill-posed problems. A special attention is paid to the presentation of different methods of regularization. On the basis of the model of the sounding signal propagation in an examined medium, the notion tomography functional is introduced. Tomography functional maps the field of the unknown medium parameters into the set of the experimental data. Examples of tomography functionals are constructed for the scalar wave equation, Lame equation, and for the transfer equation with isotropic scattering. The main impact of the tomography experiment is relevant to the overlapping of the tomography functional supports; that is in general the information on a medium voxel is contained in the whole set of measurements. The diffraction tomography algorithms are formulated, and it is shown how a backprojection procedure in the generalized Radon transformation relates to holography. The physical grounds are presented for applying the proper regularization method to solve tomography problems of the remote sensing. The optimal decision criterion is investigated and the physical interpretation of the tomography functionals is performed. Information/statistical characteristics of the recovery of the functional on the medium parameter field are finally analyzed.Mathematical Physics, Tomography, Geophysics
