We consider the acoustic source imaging problems using multiple frequency data.Using the data of one observation direction/point, we prove that some information (size and location) of the source support can be recovered. A non-iterative method is then proposed to image the source for the Helmholtz equation using multiple frequency far field data of one or several observation directions. The method is simple to implement and extremely fast since it only computes an indicator function on the interested domain using only matrix vector multiplications. Numerical examples are presented to validate the effectiveness of the method.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
