abstract = {Radar tomography is a useful technique for mapping the
permittivity and conductivity distributions in the shallow
subsurface. By exploiting the full radar waveforms, it is
possible to improve resolution and, thus, image
subwavelength features not resolvable using ray-based
approaches. Usually, mere convergence in the data space is
the only criterion used to appraise the goodness of a final
result, possibly limiting the reliability of the inversion.
A better indication of the correctness of an inverted model
and its various parts could be obtained by means of a formal
model resolution and information content analysis. We
present a novel method for computing the sensitivity
functions (Jacobian matrix) based on a time-domain adjoint
method. Because the new scheme only computes the sensitivity
values for the transmitter and receiver combinations that
are used, it reduces the number of forward runs with respect
to standard brute-force or other virtual-source schemes. The
procedure has been implemented by using a standard
finite-difference time-domain modeling method. A comparison
between cumulative sensitivity (column sum of absolute
values of the Jacobian) images, which is sometimes used in
geoelectrical studies as a proxy for resolution in practical
cases, and formal model resolution images is also presented.
We show that the cumulative sensitivity supplies some
valuable information about the image, but when possible,
formal resolution analyses should be performed. The
eigenvalue spectrum of the pseudoHessian matrix provides a
measure of the information content of an experiment and
shows the extent of the unresolved model space.},
