The proposed method is based on a sparseness?promoting approach formulated within the single?task Bayesian compressive sensing (ST?BCS) framework. Moreover, the ST?BCS solver is effectively combined with a Born iterative method (BIM) inversion strategy to retrieve the target contrast while estimating the total electric field inside the imaged domain without recurring to time?consuming full?wave simulations. Some preliminary numerical results are reported to assess the effectiveness of the proposed BIM?ST?BCS method, as well as to highlight its current limitations.}, url = {http://www.eledia.org/students-reports/796/}, keywords = {Microwave Imaging, Inverse Scattering, Compressive Sensing, Born Iterative Method} }
