Pushing Cuckoo Eggs under Inverse Radon Transforms












4












$begingroup$


Essentially the inverse of the Radon transforms $Rf(L)=int_L{f(x)|dx|}$ has the ability to reconstruct $f(x)$ from the integrals over all lines; or, expressed differently to (re)construct $f(x)$ from a functional, that maps lines to real values.



Essentially this question is aimed at cuckoo eggs the inverse Radon transform will hatch if pushed under it:






Question:



what are examples of other functionals, that map lines to real values, to which the inverse Radon transform can be applied beneficially?



I am especially interested in examples that have been mentioned in publications.
Two examples of such line functionals that would be possible candidates, are




  • mapping lines to the geodesic distance between the pair of points, in which they intersect the boundary of a compact, convex subset of $mathbb{R}^n$ (lines that miss the boundary or are tangent to it are mapped to $0$)


  • mapping lines to their moments of inertia w.r.t. the model of a compact physical object; lines missing a sufficiently small compact containing volume will be mapped to $0$

          Suppose that $newcommand{bR}{mathbb{R}}$ $Ssubset bR^n$ is a compact semialgebraic set. Denote by $AL_n$ the Grassmannian of affine lines in $bR^n$. We define a "motivic" Radon transform that associates to each line $Lin AL_n$ the Euler characteristic $R_S(L):=chi(Lcap S)$. Pierre Schapira showed that the set $S$ is completely determined by its motivic Radon transform $R_S: AL_nto mathbb{Z}$.



          This problem can be formulated cleverly to express $1_S$, the indicator function of $S$, as an inverse Radon transform of $R_S$. The story is very rich and a bit too complex to expose here. Instead I refer to section 4.1 and 4.2 of my notes where you will find detailed explanations and precise references. Also, here is a link to Schapira's original paper.



          The Crofton formulae allow you to compute certain invariants of $S$ given the knowledge of other invariants of the intersection of $S$ with affine planes.

Question : What is the origin of the phrase "under your belt"? A google search revealed some webpages (e.g. [1]) that assert its origin is related to consumption of food -- once a meal has been eaten, it's under your belt (which is a relief). However, with such websites, I have no way to determine fact from "random guy on the internet making stuff up". etymology idioms ...
