A procedure for imaging interfaces formed by simultaneous density and velocity contrasts in acoustic media is described. The procedure is based on the properties of radiation imaging operators - a class of linear differential operators parametrically dependent on the acoustic properties of the media. An example of this procedure is demonstrated through the use of numerical simulation. Results, in the form of interface images, are shown, assuming the bulk acoustic characteristics (velocity and density) on both sides of the interface are known.

In this paper, we present an acoustic imaging operator. This operator is based upon combining the material boundary conditions at an acoustic boundary and the radiation boundary conditions associated with one way wave propagation. Numerical examples, using the second-order imaging operator, are presented in order to demonstrate the applicability of this method to the detection of two-dimensional boundaries.
