Abstract

The authors consider the retrieval of Green functions G from the correlations of non-stationary non-fully diffuse noise incident on an array of sensors. Multiple schemes are proposed for optimizing the time-varying weights with which correlations may be stacked. Using noise records created by direct numerical simulation of waves in a two-dimensional multiply scattering medium, cases are shown in which conventional stacking does a poor job and for which the proposed schemes substantially improve the recovered G, rendering it more causal and/or more symmetric, and more similar to the actual G. It is found that the schemes choose weights such that the effective incident intensity distribution is closer to isotropic.
