Abstract :
The goal of the Compton camera imaging is to visualize the gamma-ray intensity map. Here, we focus on the case where the gamma-ray sources are sufficiently far from the camera and propose a new reconstruction method for the Compton camera imaging. The method is called the bin-mode estimation (BME). The assumption is valid for astronomy applications. The method can be implemented easily, and numerical simulations show the proposed method provides sharp reconstructions.
