  We present an inverse problem which uses the renormalized area functional on
minimal submanifolds to recover the expansion of asymptotically hyperbolic,
conformally compact metrics which are partially even to high order. We use a
rigidity argument to determine the conformal infinity of the metric via the
renormalized area. We then consider renormalized volume of perturbations of the
hemisphere to determine the higher order terms in the asymptotic expansion of
the metric. We prove rigidity when these metrics are log-analytic, and further
note that renormalized area determines the obstruction tensor for PE metrics.
