Machine learning based data retrieval for inverse scattering problems with incomplete data

Abstract We are concerned with the inverse scattering problems associated with incomplete measurement data. It is a challenging topic of increasing importance that arise in many practical applications. Based on a prototypical working model, we propose a machine learning based inverse scattering scheme, which integrates a CNN (convolution neural network) for the data retrieval. The proposed method can effectively cope with the reconstruction under limited-aperture and/or phaseless far-field data. Numerical experiments verify the promising features of our new scheme.
