Abstract

A simultaneous algebraic reconstruction technique (SART) that was first applied to limited-view optical tomography reconstruction of a three-dimensional asymmetric refractive-index field or a temperature distribution is presented and numerically simulated. Within two orthographic-view directions and limited view ranges, the reconstruction speed and accuracy of the SART are adequate. A new orthographic double-beam holographic-interferometric system from which multidirectional interferometric data can be obtained is first built. An asymmetric heat air-flow field is experimentally investigated by the use of orthographic double-beam holographic interferometry with double exposures. The temperatures reconstructed with the SART are consistent with those measured with a thermocouple.
