Abstract: Abstract The inverse problem we consider in this survey is to reconstruct the shape of an obstacle from the knowledge of the far field pattern for the scattering of time-harmonic acoustic or electromagnetic waves. We will review and outline different methods for proving global and local uniqueness theorems for impenetrable and penetrable obstacles. In addition, we will draw attention to open uniqueness problems in inverse obstacle scattering.
