An alternative to inverse Abel transform and forward convolution methods is presented for extracting dynamical information from velocity-map ion images. Unlike most competing methods, that presented here does not require the probed three-dimensional distribution to possess cylindrical symmetry. The new method involves analysis of the Fourier moments of images measured in different experimental geometries, and allows speed distributions, angular differential cross sections, and angular momentum alignment and orientation to be determined from raw images of the products of photodissociation and photon-initiated bimolecular reactions. The methodology is developed within the semiclassical framework of Dixon’s bipolar moment formalism [R. N. Dixon, J. Chem. Phys. 85, 1866 (1986)], although it is equally applicable to other common formulations of the product scattering distribution. To allow a comparison of the method with the Abel inversion, which requires that the velocity distribution of the probed product ha...
