Abstract:
In this paper, a restricted transverse ray transform acting on vector and symmetric m-tensor fields is studied. We developed inversion algorithms using restricted transverse ray transform data to recover symmetric m-tensor fields in R3 and vector fields in Rn. We restrict the transverse ray transform to all lines going through a fixed curve γ that satisfies the Kirillov-Tuy condition. We show that the known restricted data can be used to reconstruct a specific weighted Radon transform of the unknown vector/tensor field's components, which we then use to explicitly recover the unknown field.
