Time-reversal imaging with multiple signal classification considering multiple scattering, between the targets

The time-reversal imaging with multiple signal classification method for the location of point targets developed within the framework of the Born approximation in Lehman and Devaney ["Transmission mode time-reversal super-resolution imaging," J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 113, 2742-2753 (2003)] is generalized to incorporate multiple scattering between the targets. It is shown how the same method can be used in the location of point targets even if there is multiple scattering between them. On the other hand, both the conventional images and the calculated values of the target scattering amplitudes are scattering model-dependent. (C) 2004 Acoustical Society of America.
