Inversion of generalized V-line transforms of vector fields in $\mathbb{R}^2$

Abstract

This article studies the inverse problem of recovering a vector field supported in $\mathbb{D}_R$, the disk of radius $R$ centered at the origin, through a set of generalized broken ray/V-line transforms, namely longitudinal and transverse V-line transforms. Geometrically, we work with broken lines that start from the boundary of a disk and break at a fixed angle after traveling a distance along the diameter. We derive two inversion algorithms to recover a vector field in $\mathbb{R}^2$ from the knowledge of its longitudinal and transverse V-line transforms over two different subsets of aforementioned broken lines in $\mathbb{R}^2$.
