Connections Between Three-Dimensional Inverse Scattering and Linear Least-Squares Estimation of Random Fields
نویسنده
چکیده
The three-dimensional Schr/Sdinger equation inverse scattering problem with a nonspherically-symmetric potential is related to the filtering problem of computing the linear leastsquares estimate of the three-dimensional random field on the surface of a sphere from noisy observations inside the sphere. The relation consists of associating an estimation problem with the inverse scattering problem, and vice-versa. This association allows equations and quantities for one problem to be given interpretations in terms of the other problem. A new fast algorithm is obtained for the estimation of random fields using this association. The present work is an extension of the connections between estimation and inverse scattering already known to exist for stationary random processes and one-dimensional scattering potentials, and isotropic random fields and radial scattering potentials.

Retrieving Three Dimensional Displacements of InSAR Through Regularized Least Squares Variance Component Estimation
Measuring the 3D displacement fields provide essential information regarding the Earth crust interaction and the mantle rheology. The interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) has an appropriate capability in revealing the displacements of the Earth’s crust. Although, it measures the real 3D displacements in the line of sight (LOS) direction. The 3D displacement vectors can be retrieved ...

The least-squares linear inverse estimation problem for random fields is studied in a fractional generalized framework. First, the second-order regularity properties of the random fields involved in this problem are analysed in terms of the fractional Sobolev norms. Second, the incorporation of prior information in the form of a fractional stochastic model, with covariance operator bicontinuous...

We consider the problem of estimating regression models of two-dimensional random fields. Asymptotic properties of the least squares estimator of the linear regression coefficients are studied for the case where the disturbance is a homogeneous random field with an absolutely continuous spectral distribution and a positive and piecewise continuous spectral density. We obtain necessary and suffi...
