Abstract

It is shown that the imaging visibility of intensity correlated scattered field may be utilized to determine the normalized correlation coefficient of the scattering potential (CCSP) of the quasi-homogeneous (QH) media illuminated by a scalar plane wave. The relationship between the imaging visibility and the CCSP is constructed by analytical forms. As long as the visibility of the intensity correlated scattered field is known, the scaled width of the CCSP can be expressed by solutions of the inverse scattering problem.
