Abstract
A method of constructing cross-section images similar to 'computer assisted tomography,' using optical data processing to replace the computer. The method uses incoherent light in the optical processor, thereby avoiding the noise and diffraction patterns inherent in images processed with coherent light. The method disclosed in this invention allows the processing to be carried out in real-time as the data are being collected.
