Abstract

In this paper we present a new method for solving inverse obstacle scattering problems where the far field for many incident plane waves is known. The main idea of the method is to approximate point sources by a superposition of incident plane waves, to use a characterization of the obstacle in terms of the location of these point sources and to translate and rotate the approximating function. We will describe the method and provide numerical examples.
