Abstract

This paper is concerned with the inverse problem of time-harmonic acoustic scattering by an unbounded, locally rough interface which is assumed to be a local perturbation of a plane. The purpose of this paper is to recover the local perturbation of the interface from the near-field measurement given on a straight line segment with a finite distance above the interface and generated by point sources. Precisely, we propose a novel version of the linear sampling method to recover the location and shape of the local perturbation of the interface numerically. Our method is based on a modified near-field operator equation associated with a special rough surface, constructed by reformulating the forward scattering problem into an equivalent integral equation formulation in a bounded domain, leading to a fast imaging algorithm. Numerical experiments are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the imaging method.
