Some possibilities and problems related to 2D linear inverse scattering algorithms on large scale GPR data

In this paper, we will focus on some possibilities but also some problems related to the application of a 2D linear inversion algorithm (based on the Born approximation) on large scale data. In particular, the problem of the limited size of the investigation domain is dealt with, and it will be shown that it represents not only a computational problem but can also have some relevance with regard to the quality of the overall achieved image. Experimental results related to both a two dimensional inversion and a two dimensional migration based procedure will be shown.
