Abstract

We present a simple reconstruction algorithm for three-dimensional (3D) incoherent source distributions imaged by a laterally scanned pinhole camera. We consider digital sampling of multiple pinhole images for 3D reconstruction and implement an experimental demonstration with lateral resolution of $2\times {10}^{-3} \mathrm{rad}$ and longitudinal resolution of approximately $0.14z^2 \mathrm{m}$, where $z$ is the object-to-pinhole distance in meters.
