Three-dimensional reconstructions using Thomson-scattering observations from the Air Force/NASA Solar Mass Ejection Imager (SMEI) provide a determination of density in the inner heliosphere and allow its forecast from these remote-sensing heliospheric data. Here we describe our recent progress in providing density from this technique, and our current success in this endeavor. We would like to provide the best possible remote determinations of this heliospheric parameter. Here we explore this possibility with the copious data available from the SMEI imagery that can now be cleaned of auroral signals such that as many as 10,000 lines of sight can be available on each 102-minute orbit. We speculate on the degree to which these methods and results could be used on future heliospheric missions, should such instruments on such missions provide images as finely-calibrated as those from SMEI.
