The inverse scattering in time domain known as Forward-Backward Time-Stepping (FBTS) technique is applied to determine the sizes, shape and location of the embedded objects. Tikhonov’s regularization method has been proposed in order to improve or solve the ill-posed of FBTS inverse scattering problem. The reconstructed results showed that FBTS technique can detect the presence of embedded objects. The reconstructed results of FBTS technique utilizing with the Tikhonov’s regularization method shown better results than the results only applied FBTS technique. Tikhonov’s regularization combined with FBTS technique to improve the quality of image reconstruction.
