Abstract

The problem of reconstructing sets from their point X-rays is considered. We study the problem for Q-convex sets which are sets having special convexity properties. These properties allow the reconstruction with few projections. In this paper we introduce the filling operations adapted to the considered context and we provide an algorithm for reconstructing Q-convex sets from their point X-rays for two source points. The reconstruction of Q-convex sets would be an intermediate step for reconstructing convex sets from their point X-rays.
