This paper presents an evolutionary algorithm for finding the reconstruction which maximises an evaluation function, representing the ''quality'' of the reconstruction, and shows that the algorithm can be successfully applied to a wide range of evaluation functions.
Abstract
One of the main problems in discrete tomography is the reconstruction of binary matrices from their projections in a small number of directions In this paper we consider a new algorithmic approach for reconstructing binary matrices from only two projections This problem is usually underdetermined and the number of solutions can be very large We present an evolutionary algorithm for finding the reconstruction which maximises an evaluation function, representing the ''quality'' of the reconstruction, and show that the algorithm can be successfully applied to a wide range of evaluation functions We discuss the necessity of a problem-specific representation and tailored search-operators for obtaining satisfactory results Our new search-operators can also be used in other discrete tomography algorithms

Discrete tomography reconstruction through a new memetic algorithm

TL;DR: Discrete tomography is a particular case of computerized tomography that deals with the reconstruction of objects made of just one homogeneous material, where it is sometimes possible to reduce the number of projections to no more than four.
