Considers the inverse scattering problem for a scalar wavefield incident at grazing angles on a one-dimensional rough surface. The problem is formulated first as a pair of coupled integral equations in two unknown functions, knowledge of which immediately yields the surface. A method is described for the direct approximate solution of this system. Preliminary results are presented in groups of complicated rough surfaces which are closely recaptured in all details except for scale.

TLDR
An iterated marching method is presented for the reconstruction of rough perfectly reflecting one-dimensional surfaces from scattered data arising from a scalar wave at grazing incidence, and the algorithm is found to exhibit a type of self-regularization.

A new method to determine the location and shape of an unbounded rough surface from measurements of scattered electromagnetic waves based on the point source method of Potthast, which can reconstruct the total field when the incident field is not necessarily time harmonic.
Reconstruction of roughness profile of fractal surface from scattering measurement at grazing incidence
As a scalar wave is incident upon a rough surface at grazing angle, the Helmholtz wave equation can be approximated by the parabolic equation. Inverse scattering has been formulated in the form of a…
