  In this article, we introduce a framework for quantum state tomography of
qutrits by projective measurements. The framework is based on photon-counting
with measurement results distorted due to the Poisson noise and dark counts.
Two different measurement schemes are investigated numerically and compared in
terms of their efficiency for distinct numbers of photons per measurement. The
accuracy of state reconstruction is quantified by figures of merit which are
presented on graphs versus the amount of noise.
