Performing tomographic reconstructions from a satellite looking toward Earth. Part 2: analysis of image quality
Abstract:
This paper is part 2 of two papers that explore performing tomographic reconstructions from a space platform. A simplified model of short-wave infrared emissions in the atmosphere is given. Simulations were performed that tested the effectiveness of reconstructions given signal amplitude, frequency, signal-to-noise ratio, number of iterations run, and others. Maximum likelihood expectation maximization is shown to be effective for reconstructing low signal cases.

Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
