1. A system for detecting poor quality images in an optical tomography system comprising: acquisition means for acquiring a set of pseudo-projection images of an object having a center of mass, where each of the set of pseudo-projection images is acquired at a different angle of view; reconstruction means, coupled to receive the pseudo-projection images, for reconstruction of the pseudo-projection images into 3D reconstruction images; and quality means for classification of the 3D reconstruction images using selected features that characterize poor quality reconstructions.
