Abstract: We consider an inverse scattering problem for multiple obstacles $D=\bigcup _{j=1}^ND_j\subset {R}^3$ with different types of boundary for $D_j$. By constructing an indicator function from the far-field pattern of the scattered wave, we can firstly reconstruct the shape of all obstacles, then identify the type of boundary for each obstacle, as well as the boundary impedance in the case that obstacles have the Robin-type boundary condition. The novelty of our probe method compared with the existing probe method is that we succeeded in identifying the type of boundary condition for multiple obstacles by analyzing the behavior of both the imaginary part and the real part of the indicator function. The numerical realizations are given to show the performance of this inversion method.
