Abstract

In this paper we discuss the use of the maximum entropy principle in tomographic reconstruction. We emphasize that entropy maximization is the only consistent regularization technique for images. A method of encoding prior information is discussed, and an example of the use of prior knowledge in the restoration of a fuel pin bundle is given.
