Abstract
A method for estimating the seafloor geoacoustic parameters from the measured acoustic field in the water is proposed. In particular, we impose to the inverse function the structure of a Radial Basis Function (RBF) expansion, and identify its coefficients using a set of computer generated input-output pairs. Among the advantages of the method are the robustness to noise in the data and the ability to compute the solution in real time. Succesfully estimated results are presented, with an accuracy that depends on their influence on the acoustic field.
