This sort of a program would do what is called "inverse scattering":
i.e., given a measured field, determine what the source function is
that created that field. People have been working on this problem for
years and many journals are devoted to this subject. In particular, it
forms the basis for synthetic aperture radar, computer aided
tomography, and seismic imaging. Lots of algorithms have been
developed and software has been written to solve specific inverse
scattering problems.
