Abstract:
Within the framework of geometric tomography, inverse problems of photometry, wave optics, and discrete tomography, we study questions on reconstruction of the spatial location and luminosity of a discrete distribution of radiant sources from its images obtained with the use of a small number of optical systems. We analyze the problem on finding geometric parameters of such a distribution and describe sources of ambiguity. We consider the inverse problem on reconstruction of a discrete distribution that consists of incoherent and monochromatic sources and suggest uniqueness criteria for its solution. We also suggest a constructive approach to numerical solution of the inverse problem on reconstruction of the coordinates and luminosity of a family of radiant pinpoint sources from their images.
Key words:geometric tomography, inverse problem of optics, optical system, discrete tomography, radiant source, discrete distribution, uniqueness.
