We demonstrated experimental comparison between ghost imaging and traditional non-correlated imaging under disturbance of scattering. Ghost imaging appears more robust. The quality of ghost imaging does not change much when the scattering is getting stronger, while that of traditional imaging declines dramatically. A concise model is developed to explain the superiority of ghost imaging. Due to its robustness against scattering, ghost imaging will be useful in harsh environment.
