Abstract
Disclosed technology can provide a process for generating reconstructed muon image resolution to optimize the use of the limited angular range muon track data collected by a muon tomography system. In one aspect, a process for improving reconstructed muon image resolution for a volume of interest (VOI) imaged by a muon tomography system includes: collecting raw muon track data of cosmic ray muon tracks passing through the VOI; grouping the raw muon track data into two or more subsets of tracks based on at least one angular distribution of the muon tracks in the raw muon track data; generating a set of images of the VOI based on the two or more subsets of tracks; and combining information from the set of reconstructed images and a reconstructed image based on the full set of the raw muon track data to obtain a resulting reconstructed image of the VOI.
