A new algorithm for 3D binary tomography

Abstract In this paper we propose a new algorithm for reconstructing 3D binary images on a lattice from a small number of their projections. The algorithm is iterative; a new 3D image is computed in each iteration, using network flow methods. It is based on an algorithm for computing 2D reconstructions, which performs very well for a large class of images. We demonstrate the performance of our algorithm on a set of characteristic test images.
