Extension of the Fermi-Eyges most likely path in heterogeneous medium with prior knowledge information.

In conclusion, the introduction of prior-knowledge in the MLP formalism decreases the RMS uncertainty to the MC path, but no further than the use of a simpler Hull contour algorithm. The use of this Hull algorithm is suggested for future particle imaging applications.
