Use of random matrix theory for target detection, localization, and reconstruction

The detection, localization, and characterization of a target em- bedded in a medium is an important problem in wave sensor imaging. The responses between each pair of source and receiver are collected so that the available information takes the form of a response matrix between the source array and the receiver array. When the data are corrupted by additive noise we show how the target can be efficiently detected, localized and characterized using recent tools of random matrix theory.
