It adopts a multi-resolution (MR) scheme to represent contrast sources, which are iteratively estimated using a Bayesian compressive sensing (BCS) algorithm that encourages sparse solutions. The method's accuracy and stability are confirmed through extensive testing. Benchmark comparisons demonstrate the approach?s strong performance relative to contemporary advanced techniques.}, keywords = {microwave imaging (MI), contrast source inversion (CSI), Bayesian compressive sensing (BCS), inverse scattering (IS)} }
