Abstract
A general formulation of a theory of imaging through random obscuring layers is described. Previously we presented a theory for the temporal behavior of a short pulse scattered from a random medium and from a point target. In this paper, we generalize our study to include the imaging of objects of finite size and the actual imaging pattern at the receiver. This involves the study of two-frequency fourth order moments. Numerical examples are given to illustrate several important features, including the optical depth, backscattering enhancement, shower curtain effects, aperture size, bandwidth and target size.
