An explicit formulation for the inverse transport problem using only external detectors: Part I: computational modelling

In the present work the inverse problem of identification of radiative properties, the total extinction and scattering coefficients, is analyzed and explicitly formulated based in an elementary semi-group theory. The Chandrasekhar discrete ordinates finite dimensional approximation of the angular variables is used for the direct problem representation with the stationary Linear Transport (Boltzmann) Equation in absorbing and scattering media in matrix form. For the inverse problem we suppose known the albedo operator from measured intensities at the boundaries of the medium. Here we analize th...
