Image reconstruction of time domain diffuse optical tomography for quality control on seed potatoes

The purpose of this study is to apply model based iterative reconstruction method on a ring array diffuse optical tomography system based on mean time of flight. This study was conducted on numerical object that represents the real condition of seed potatoes. The object was illuminated by the near infrared source from 12 positions on object´s boundary. A set of near infrared detector are placed on the periphery of the object and it measures the intensity of propagated light. In the simulation, we vary the condition of object then we analyze the correlation between simulated and reconstructed image. The result of this study indicated that time domain-diffuse optical tomography is promising for quality control on seed potatoes.
