The paper concerns the analysis of the correlations of wave fields propagating in heterogeneous media. We show that selected field-field correlations asymptotically propagate in non-scattering media, i.e., propagate as if the underlying medium was homogeneous. Such correlations are therefore good candidates for imaging strategies in heterogeneous media based on back-propagations in a homogeneous medium. keywords: inverse problem, imaging, correlations, radiative transfer, random media.

IMAGING USING TRANSPORT MODELS FOR WAVE–WAVE CORRELATIONS
We consider the imaging of objects buried in unknown heterogeneous media. The medium is probed by using classical (e.g. acoustic or electromagnetic) waves. When heterogeneities in the medium become…

Experimental validation of a transport-based imaging method in highly scattering environments
We demonstrate the effectiveness of a transport-based reconstruction method for imaging in highly scattering environments. Experimentally measured wave energy data in the micro-wave regime are used…
