A novel sampling method for time domain acoustic inverse source problems (2309.02444v1)

Abstract: This paper is concerned with the inverse acoustic scattering problems of reconstructing time-dependent multiple point sources and sources on a curve $L$ of the form $\lambda(t)\tau(x)\delta_L(x)$. A direct sampling method with a novel indicator function is proposed to reconstruct the sources. The sampling method is easy to implement and low in calculation cost. Based on the sampling method, numerical algorithms are provided to get the positions and intensities of the sources. Both theoretical analysis of the indicator function and numerical experiments are provided to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.
