Abstract: An unknown surface shape of a physical object can be extracted with good precision. Image data of a projective image that has been acquired by radiation projection to an object is acquired. Next, a predetermined mesh structure is used to acquire cross-sectional images of the subject from image data of the projective images by reconstruction using tomography. Lattice points constituting the mesh structure are then moved in conformity with the surface shape of the object, based on the cross-sectional image that has been acquired by reconstruction. Reconstruction is carried out again using the mesh whose lattice point positions have been corrected. Movement on the reconstruction of the lattice points is then repeated as many times as required.

Abstract: There is provided a surface light source device capable of making appearance of a boundary between partial lighting areas more natural than related art. In each of unit light-source sections 10 capable of mutually independent lighting, uneven light-emission intensity distributions that are mutually independent are to be formed within a light emission surface. Thus, in the light emission surface of each of the unit light-source sections 10, an arbitrary light-emission intensity distribution is able to be formed. Therefore, by adjusting a light-emission intensity distribution of each of the unit light-source sections 10, the appearance in the boundary between the partial lighting areas becomes more natural than related art.
