Abstract

A new tomography method for a two-dimensional object containing an opaque inclusion is developed. For the estimation of unknown data in the opaque object’s shadow, the system of linear algebraic equations derived from the representation of projections of moments by homogeneous polynomials is solved. The numerical results show that the method has a number of advantages over alternative approaches.
