Holographic tomography by SART and it's application to reconstruction of 3D temperature distribution

Abstract

Application of holographic tomography to reconstruction of 3D asymmetric temperature distribution is experimentally and numerically investigated. A new simultaneous algebraic reconstruction technique (SART) code for holographic tomography is presented. Important features of SART for reconstruction of temperature field were evaluated using numerical model functions. Data from diffuse-illumination holographic interferograms obtained at twenty different view directions and with 40° range of view angles were used to reconstruct a 3D thermal flow field by SART method. An average reconstruction error of about 5% is estimated. The ability to reconstruct the 3D field using a limited viewing range implies that SART is especially suitable for the holographic tomography of aerodynamic density field.
