Abstract

This paper deals with the adaptation of an edge-preserving regularization method to the ill-posed problem of inverse scattering. The reconstruction of complex permittivity of inhomogeneous objects from scattered field data, leads to a nonlinear equation. Our primary algorithm, based on a conjugate gradient method shows some limitations face to noisy corrupted data. A significant enhancement is proposed by the addition of a new regularization term. The object to be reconstructed is modeled with homogeneous areas, separated by borderlike discontinuities. Based on the use of edge-preserving potential functions, our algorithm smoothes the homogeneous areas of the solution, while preserving the reconstruction of the edges, which are important attributes of the object. Finally, some examples with noisy corrupted synthetic data illustrate the enhancement brought by the method.
