In a microwave imaging problem, the targets are illuminated by incident waves and scattered field samples are measured outside the investigation area [1][4]. In order to retrieve the unknwon objects from the measurements, different stochastic [1][3] and deterministic [2][4] approaches have been proposed. date: 2011-01 date_type: published institution: University of Trento department: informaticat refereed: FALSE referencetext: [1] P.
