本研究的目标是确定基本的界限， 估计给定介质的形状和声学特性， 声学传感器。 这项研究可应用于 生物组织和无损评估以及机器人技术。 包括 在研究中，开发了一个三维模型，研究了 诊断换能器阵列对参数的主导影响 估计，以及2-D换能器阵列的应用。 本研究 更新先前在批准号ECS-8307782下进行的研究。

The goal of this research is to determine fundamental bounds on estimating the shape and acoustic properties of a given medium by using acoustic sensors. This research has applications in the imaging of biological tissue and nondestructive evaluation and robotics. Included in the research is the development of a 3-d model, a study of the dominant effects of diagnostic transducer arrays on paramenter estimates, and the application of 2-d transducer arrays. This research renews previous research conducted under grant no. ECS-8307782.
