A Comparison of POCS Algorithms for Tomographic Reconstruction Under Noise and Limited View
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present in this work a comparison among four algorithms for transmission tomography. The algorithms are based on the formalism of POCS (Projection onto Convex Sets): ART (Algebraic Reconstruction Technique), SIRT (Simultaneous Iterative Reconstruction Technique), sequential POCS and parallel POCS. We found that the use of adequate a priori knowledge about the solutions, expressed by convex sets restrictions, particularly in the case of the last algorithm, is an efficient way to reduce the variations on the solutions due to the ill-conditioning of the reconstruction problem, not only due to the noise in the projections, but also due to limited view reconstruction.

Fast alternating projection methods for constrained tomographic reconstruction
The alternating projection algorithms are easy to implement and effective for large-scale complex optimization problems, such as constrained reconstruction of X-ray computed tomography (CT). A typical method is to use projection onto convex sets (POCS) for data fidelity, nonnegative constraints combined with total variation (TV) minimization (so called TV-POCS) for sparse-view CT reconstruction...
متن کاملConventional Voxel in Tomographic Reconstruction Based upon Plane-Integral Projections – Use It or Lose It?
Introduction: While the necessity of replacing voxels with blobs in conventional tomographic reconstruction based upon line-integrals is clear, it is not however well-investigated in plane- integral-based reconstruction. The problem is more challenging in convergent-plane projection reconstruction. In this work, we are aiming at utilizing blobs as alternative to voxels. <stron...
متن کاملA stabilized inversion for limited angle tomography
In this paper we present a method for reconstructing a function f :R2!R from limited angle tomographic data. This reconstruction problem occurs in many physical systems, where physical limitations prohibit the gathering of tomographic data a certain angles. We begin by reviewing some of the classical work on singular value decompositions and POCS in the context of this problem. We then review s...

We present TRex, a flexible and robust Tomographic Reconstruction framework using proximal algorithms. We provide an overview and perform an experimental comparison between the famous iterative reconstruction methods in terms of reconstruction quality in sparse view situations. We then derive the proximal operators for the four best methods. We show the flexibility of our framework by deriving ...
متن کاملSplit-Bregman-based sparse-view CT reconstruction
Total variation minimization has been extensively researched for image denoising and sparse view reconstruction. These methods show superior denoising performance for simple images with little texture, but result in texture information loss when applied to more complex images. It could thus be beneficial to use other regularizers within medical imaging. We propose a general regularization metho...
