The paper concerns the reconstruction of an object that emits radiation through absorbing materials. The object is regarded as a binary matrix which has to be reconstructed from its absorbed projections. The authors prove that the left and right horizontal absorbed projections of a binary matrix \(A=(a_{i,j})\) given by \[ L=\left(\sum_{j=1}^na_{i,j}\beta^{-j}\right)_{i=1,\dots,m}, \;R=\left(\sum_{j=1}^na_{i,j}\beta^{-n+j-1}\right)_{i=1,\dots,m}, \] uniquely determine \(A\) when \(\beta=\beta_0=(1+\sqrt5)/2\). Moreover, a fast algorithm for solving the related reconstruction problem is defined and its complexity is analyzed. Finally, a possibility of using different absorption coefficients \(\mu=\ln \beta\) for \(\beta\neq\beta_0\) is discussed. The paper continues investigations presented by \textit{A. Kuba} and \textit{M. Nivat} [Linear Algebra Appl. 339, No. 1--3, 171--194 (2001; Zbl 1004.65056)].
