Penumbral imaging is a technique of coded aperture imaging proposed for imaging of highly penetrating radiations. To date, the penumbral imaging technique has been successfully applied to neutron imaging in laser fusion experiments. Since the reconstruction of penumbral images is based on linear deconvolution methods, such as inverse filter and Wiener filer, the point spread function of apertures should be space invariant; it is also sensitive to the noise contained in penumbral images. In this article, we propose a new heuristic reconstruction method for neutron penumbral imaging, which can be used for a space-variant imaging system and is also very tolerant to the noise.
