This approach leverages a multi-resolution (MR) representation to characterize contrast sources, which are progressively reconstructed using a Bayesian compressive sensing (BCS) method. The effectiveness and stability of the proposed MR-BCS-CSI strategy are demonstrated through numerical case studies. Furthermore, comparisons with cutting-edge methodologies highlight its competitive performance.}, url = {http://www.eledia.org/students-reports/912/} }
