In this paper, we propose an efficient algorithm for MR imagereconstruction. The algorithm minimizes a linear combination of three terms corresponding to a least square data fitting, total variation (Tv) and L1 norm regularization. This has been shown to be very powerful for the MR imagereconstruction. First, we decompose the original problem into L1 and Tv norm regularization subproblems respectively. Then, these two subproblems are efficiently solved by existing techniques. Finally, the reconstructed image is obtained from the weighted average of solutions from two subproblems in an iterative framework. We compare the proposed algorithm with previous methods in term of the reconstruction accuracy and computation complexity. Numerous experiments demonstrate the superior performance of the proposed algorithm for compressed MR imagereconstruction. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.v. All rights reserved.

The work presented in this paper examines the performance of reconstructionfrom truncated projections using linear prediction for projection completion and recently proposed fan beam algorithm having no backprojection weight. The truncation in the tomographic projections can occur due to compact nature of the detector, outsized imaging object and region of interest (ROI) reconstruction applications. The reconstruction of the object function from truncated projections suffers from undesirable truncation artifacts and incorrect reconstructed density values. In this work, the truncated projection data is estimated by using the linear projection technique. The object is then reconstructed from the completed projections by using Hilbert filter based fan-beam algorithm with no backprojection weight. The resulting reconstruction improves the image quality in terms of noise performance characteristics. Simulation results are presented to show the improvements in image quality and compared with the reconstruction obtained using ramp filtered fan-beam algorithm.

The Finite Radon Transform (FRT) is a discrete analogue of classical tomography. The FRT permits exact reconstruction of a discrete object from its discrete projections. The set of projection angles for the FRT is intrinsic to each image array size. It is shown here that the set of FRT angles is closed under a rotation by any of its members. A periodic re-ordering of the elements of the 10 FRT projections is then equivalent to an exact 2D image rotation. FRT-based rotations require minimal interpolation and preserve all of the original image pixel intensities. This approach has applications in image feature matching, multi-scale data representation and data encryption. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.v. All rights reserved.

The goal of single slow rotation dynamic SPECT is to reconstruct a dynamic imagefromdata acquired with a single slow rotation of the camera. In this approach, the distribution of activity is assumed to change with every stop made by the camera, and all time frames of the 4D image are simultaneously reconstructed, using a temporal constraint to link them together. The dSPECT algorithm, for instance (Farncombe et al., 2001), restricts the behaviour of the time activity curve (TAC) in every voxel of the image, requiring it either strictly increase, strictly decrease, or increase to a maximum and then decrease. Attenuation correction (AC) is critical to this approach, in order to separate the effects of attenuation on projection datafrom the actual tracer kinetics. Here we present new analysis indicating that modeling attenuation in the system matrix, although sufficient for AC in conventional (static) SPECT imaging, does not properly account for attenuation effects when reconstructing a dynamic imagefromdata acquired with a single slow rotation. Noticeable artifacts occur in TACs extracted from the reconstructed image as a result. These artifacts correspond to periods of the acquisition where the amount of attenuating material between the camera and dynamic regions changes significantly. We investigate a post-reconstruction approach to correct for these artifacts, in which a template approximating the dynamic image is created, analytically projected, and then reconstructed. This procedure provides an indication of the nature of the artifacts present in the original reconstructed image, allowing for a correction to be applied. An experiment using a digital phantom and the dSPECT reconstruction algorithm indicates that this approach noticeably reduces most attenuation artifacts, although some still persist. Thus, the acquisition protocol in any single slow rotation dynamic SPECT study must be carefully chosen to minimize errors related to attenuation.

In this paper a new method for classifying events in noisy hydrophone data is developed. The method takes an image processing approach to the 1D hydrophone data by first converting it into a log-frequency spectrogram image (cepstrum). This image is then filtered by reconstructing it based on mutual information (MI) criteria of the dominant orientation map. The features of the reconstructed cepstrum are then enhanced using a combination of edge-tracking and noise smoothing. Feature classification on the processed cepstrum is performed using a least-squares support vector machine (LS-SvM). The method showed event detection sensitivity in excess of 99% for rare events such as whale calls from noisy hydrophone recordings from the NEPTUNE Canada project, with in excess of 97% specificity and 98% overall accuracy. With relatively low computational cost and high accuracy, the proposed method is useful for automated long-term monitoring of a wide variety of marine mammals and human related activities from hydrophone data.
The paper deals with projective shape and motion reconstruction by subspace iterations. A prerequisite of factorization-style algorithms is that all feature points need be observed in all images, a condition which is ...

In this paper, a new image based method for detecting and extracting events in noisy hydrophone data sequence is developed. The method relies on dominant orientation and its robust reconstruction based on mutual information (MI) measure. This new reconstructed dominant orientation map of the spectrogram image can provide key segments corresponding to various acoustic events and is robust to noise. The proposed method is useful for long-term monitoring and a proper interpretation for a wide variety of marine mammals and human related activities using hydrophone data. The experimental results demonstrate that this image based approach can efficiently detect and extract unusual events, such as whale calls from the highly noisy hydrophone recordings.

Figure 2 shows reconstructed images of a two-chamber phantom (filled with two activity concentrations) which was measured in 7 different positions. The applied motion of the phantom induces a significant image degradation (left). Motion parameters were extracted from EPI volumes to correct the emission data before the reconstruction with PRESTO. The blurring due to motion completely vanishes (right).

Transform-based image codec follows the basic principle: the reconstructed quality is decided by the quantization level. Compressive sensing (CS) breaks the limit and states that sparse signals can be perfectly recovered fromincomplete or even corrupted information by solving convex optimization. Under the same acquisition of images, if images are represented sparsely enough, they can be reconstructed more accurately by CS recovery than inverse transform. So, in this paper, we utilize a modified Tv operator to enhance image sparse representation and reconstruction accuracy, and we acquire image information from transform coefficients corrupted by quantization noise. We can reconstruct the images by CS recovery instead of inverse transform. A CS-based JPEG decoding scheme is obtained and experimental results demonstrate that the proposed methods significantly improve the PSNR and visual quality of reconstructed images compared with original JPEG decoder.
