Computed tomography is increasingly enabling scientists to study physical processes of materials at micron scales. The MBIR framework provides a powerful method for CT reconstruction by incorporating both a measurement model and prior model. Classically, the choice of prior has been limited to models enforcing local similarity in the image data. In some material science problems, however, much more...
Markov random fields (MRFs) have been widely used as prior models in various inverse problems such as tomographic reconstruction. While MRFs provide a simple and often effective way to model the spatial dependencies in images, they suffer from the fact that parameter estimate is difficult. In practice, this means that MRFs typically have very simple structure that cannot completely capture the subtle...
In flat detector cone-beam computed tomography and related applications, sparse angular sampling frequently leads to characteristic streak artifacts. To overcome this problem, it has been suggested to generate additional views by means of interpolation. The practicality of this approach is investigated in combination with a dedicated method for angular interpolation of 3-D sinogram data. For this...
Iterative reconstruction shows potential for noise reduction and resolution improvements in X-ray CT. The forward projection operator is a key modeling choice in every iterative reconstruction method. The operator may be expressed in terms of the basis functions corresponding to a continuous representation of the image space. In this paper, we study three system models describing the mapping from...
