## Abstract

We consider the inverse scattering problem for sparse scatterers. An image reconstruction algorithm is proposed that is based on a nonlinear generalization of iterative hard thresholding. The convergence and error of the method was analyzed by means of coherence estimates and compared to numerical simulations.
