Tomographic Reconstruction from a Few Views: A Multi-Marginal Optimal Transport Approach

  • Published:
Applied Mathematics & Optimization Submit manuscript

Abstract

In this article, we focus on tomographic reconstruction. The problem is to determine the shape of the interior interface using a tomographic approach while very few X-ray radiographs are performed. We use a multi-marginal optimal transport approach. Preliminary numerical results are presented.
