We intend to analyze the reliability of surface imaging of stars based on high resolution spectroscopy and the technique of inverse problem solution. Both astrophysical and mathematical aspects including different regularization methods are reviewed. The influence of the different factors on the resulting map is discussed and it is shown that the simultaneous use of different kinds of observational data (spectroscopy, photometry, polarimetry etc.) is very useful in providing additional constraints for the solution. The recent results in the surface imaging of Cp- and late-type stars show the way for further progress: the use of more adequate mathematical description of the stellar atmosphere and the simultaneous consideration of various surface inhomogeneities.
