Abstract
A novel imaging system has been devised by combining acoustic imaging with neural networks. Information on ultrasonic scattered waves from objects is converted into an acoustic image. Several feature images are calculated, and then a neural network integrates their images and reconstructs a fine image. With this system, using simple shape objects as teaching patterns, images of unknown objects can be restored
