Abstract
The present invention provides a method for generating three-dimensional images of an object having a network of points. One preferred embodiment of the present invention comprises using a moving two-dimensional sensor network array to take measurements, at successive discrete time intervals, of radiation emanating from the network of points. The sensors generate electrical signals representative of the object at the discrete time intervals, which impulses are used to generate a system of linear equations describing the object at these discrete time intervals. A change function function is generated to describe the object in between the discrete time intervals. Finally, electrical signals representative of a continuous description of the object are generated using the system of equations and the change function, which continuous description are used to generate three-dimensional images of the object.
