1. A method of localizing an object in a turbid medium, comprising:

  • immersing the turbid medium in a calibration medium, irradiating the turbid medium, measuring intensities of a part of light transported through the turbid medium and the calibration medium along a plurality of light paths, normalizing the measured intensities, performing a correction on the normalized intensities to realize corrected normalized intensities by generating a corrected normalized intensity of each selected light path including combining a normalized intensity of a selected light path, the normalized intensities, lengths of the light paths, and a length of the selected light path, and reconstructing an image of the interior of the turbid medium utilizing the corrected normalized intensities.
