In this paper, we describe a practical implementation of an imagereconstruction method designed to generate a map of the brightness distribution fromdata consisting of squared visibilities and complex closure amplitudes resulting from observations of an astronomical target with a broadband, multichannel, spatial optical interferometer. Given the data, the method estimates the true brightness distribution with a model sampled on a rectangular grid of discrete positions on the sky with the assumption that the model intensities in the region not defined by the discrete positions being described by bilinear interpolation of the discrete intensities. The developed imagereconstruction method has been applied to real observational data obtained from existing optical interferometer facilities.

This paper describes initial work on a family of projective reconstruction techniques that compute projection matrices directly and linearly from matching tensors estimated from the imagedata. The approach is based on ''joint image closure relations'' - bilinear constraints between matching tensors and projection matrices, that express the fact that the former derive from the latter. The simplest methods use fundamental matrices and epipoles, alternative ones use trilinear tensors. It is possible to treat all of the imagedata uniformly, without reliance on ''privileged'' images or tokens. The underlying theory is discussed, and the performance of the new methods is quantified and compared with that of several existing ones. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science B.v.

A statistical estimation problem for determining 3-D reconstructions from a single 2-D projection image of each of multiple objects when the objects are heterogeneous is described. The method is based on a Gaussian mixture description of the heterogeneity and is motivated by cryo electron microscopy of biological objects.
This paper presents the imagereconstruction using the fan-beam filtered backprojection (FBP) algorithm with no backprojection weight from windowed linear prediction (WLP) completed truncated projection data. The imag...

Under ideal circumstances, the inverse of the radon transform is computable, and sequences of measured projections are sufficient to obtain accurate estimates of volume densities. In situations where the sinogram data is incomplete, the radon transform is noninvertable, and attempts to reconstruct greyscale density values result in reconstruction artifacts that can undermine the effectiveness of subsequent processing. This paper presents a direct approach to the segmentation of incomplete tomographic data. The strategy is to impose a fairly simple model on the data, and treat segmentation as a problem of estimating the interface between two substances of somewhat homogeneous density. The segmentation is achieved by simultaneously deforming a surface model and updating density parameters in order to achieve a best fit between the projected model and the measured sinograms. The deformation is implemented with level-set surface models, calculated at the resolution of the input data. Relative to previous work, this paper makes several contributions. First is a proper derivation of the deformation of surface models that move according to a gradient descent on a likelihood measure. We also present a series of computational innovations that make this direct surface-fitting approach feasible with state-of-the-art computers. Another contribution is the demonstration of the effectiveness of this approach on under-constrained tomographic problems, using both simulated and real datasets. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.v.

Purpose Robust and reliable reconstruction of images from noisy and incomplete projection data holds significant potential for proliferation of cost-effective medical imaging technologies. Since conventional reconstruction techniques can generate severe artifacts in the recovered images, a notable line of research constitutes development of appropriate algorithms to compensate for missing data and to reduce noise. In the present work, we investigate the effectiveness of state-of-the-art methodologies developed for image inpainting and noise reduction to preserve the quality of reconstructed images from undersampled PET data. We aimed to assess and ascertain whether missing data recovery is best performed in the projection space prior to reconstruction or adjoined with the reconstruction step in image space. Methods Different strategies for data recovery were investigated using realistic patient derived phantoms (brain and abdomen) in PET scanners with partial geometry (small and large gap structures). Specifically, gap filling strategies in projection space were compared with reconstruction based compensation in image space. The methods used for filling the gap structure in sinogram PET data include partial differential equation based techniques (PDE), total variation (Tv) regularization, discrete cosine transform(DCT)-based penalized regression, and dictionary learning based inpainting (DLI). For compensation in image space, compressed sensing based imagereconstruction methods were applied. These include the preconditioned alternating projection (PAPA) algorithm with first and higher order total variation (HOTv) regularization as well as dictionary learning based compressed sensing (DLCS). We additionally investigated the performance of the methods for recovery of missing data in the presence of simulated lesion. The impact of different noise levels in the undersampled sinograms on performance of the approaches were also evaluated. Results In our first study (brai

Optical diffusion imaging is a new imaging modality that promises great potential in applications such as medical imaging, environmental sensing and nondestructive testing. It presents a difficult nonlinear imagereconstruction problem however. An inversion algorithm is formulated in a Bayesian framework, and an efficient optimization technique that uses iterative coordinate descent is presented. A general multigrid optimization technique for nonlinear imagereconstruction problems is developed and applied to the optical diffusion imaging problem. Numerical results show that this approach improves the quality of reconstructions and dramatically decreases computation times.

CT imagereconstructionfromincomplete projection data is a challenging problem. Among massive reconstruction methods, iterative reconstruction based on compressed sensing (CS) is a promising one that enables us to accurately recovery signals from highly under-sample data when the signals have a sparse representation, which usually can be done by the constrained l(1) minimization. The total variation (Tv) minimization is a commonly used sparsity constraint, which assumes the target image is piece-wise constant. Tv based CS algorithm has been successfully applied to solve many computed tomography problems, such as few views and interior reconstruction. In this work, we proposed a novel CS algorithm combined with a prior image to enhance the Tv sparsity, namely structural prior enhanced compressed sensing (SPECS). Numerical simulation indicates SPECS is effective and robust for many kinds of incompletedata cases.

When imaging the ground from the air, distortions can occur if the imagery was created from an electro-optical line scanner pointing to nadir and mounted on the bottom of all airborne platform. The inability of the aircraft to maintain a perfect trajectory can cause the distortions. In the worst case scenario, camera stabilizers fail, no geographical reference or navigation data is available, and the sensor periodically fails leaving incompletedata for imagereconstruction. Motion compensation can restore the images. This paper describes various distortions that can be created for an airborne nadir-aimed line scanner. A motion-compensation technique is introduced that combines multiple cues from geographical reference and navigation data as well as line-scan matched filtering. A semi-automated restoration implementation is introduced followed by the automated line-scan matched filter implementation. These various compensation techniques provide backup for each other thus creating a more efficient motion-compensation system. Even in the worst case scenario, the system continues to attempt motion compensation using an optimal line-scan matched filtering technique. The results of using this automated technique for motion compensation is demonstrated using simulated high-definition imagery and then using actual electro-optical and hyperspectral images that were obtained from the Dynamic data Base (DDB) program sponsored LS the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA).

Cepstral filtering is reviewed as a suitable and efficient method to solve the inverse scattering problem in the case of strongly scattering permittivity distributions. The number and distribution of measured scattered field data required is discussed, as is the effective number of degrees of freedom available to describe the scattering structure. The latter is identified as a key parameter determining the performance of the cepstral method. This is of particular importance for strong scattering and nonlinear image processing methods since many data sets are compiled based on the sampling requirements of weakly scattering objects. We find that the domain of the object support and the maximum permittivity contrast are important prior information for determining the minimum number of data samples necessary while maximizing use of the available degrees of freedom;examples are presented.
