The factorization method for inverse scattering from periodic inhomogeneous media formatIsbn:Softcover 9783866445505 In non technical language the book 9783642096402 In non technical language the book records many of the causes of ill health and throws light upon the physical and mental stress with which men and women at work have to contend This work makes several contributions to the process of estimating elevation maps from side scan sonar data: A new estimation method that recreates sonar measurements by pre computed known sonar responses (so called kernels) and then derives a height profile from the kernels used This book addresses the identification of the shape of penetrable periodic media by means of scattered time harmonic waves this is about the determination of the support of a function which occurs in the governing equations
