In this paper, a Bayesian-based imagereconstruction scheme is utilized for estimating a high resolution temperature map of the top of the earth's atmosphere using the GOES-8 (Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite) imager infrared channels. By simultaneously interpolating the image while estimating temperature, the proposed algorithm achieves a more accurate estimate of the sub-pixel temperatures than could be obtained by performing these operations independently of one another. The proposed algorithm differs from other Bayesian-based image interpolation schemes in that it estimates brightness temperature as opposed to image intensity and incorporates a detailed optical model of the GOES multi-channel imaging system. The temperature estimation scheme is compared to deconvolution via pseudo-inverse filtering using two metrics. One metric is the mean squared temperature error. This metric describes the radiometric accuracy of the image estimate. The second metric is the recovered Modulation Transfer Function (MTF) of the image estimate. This method has traditionally been used to evaluate the quality of image recovery techniques. It will be shown in this paper that there is an inconsistency between these two metrics in that an image with high spatial frequency content can be reconstructed with poor radiometric, accuracy. The ramifications of this are discussed in order to evaluate the two metrics for use in quantifying the performance of imagereconstruction algorithms.

In our previous work we have demonstrated that the perceived wander of image intensities as seen through the windows" of each pixel due to atmospheric turbulence can be modelled as a simple oscillator pixel-by-pixel and a linear Kalman filter (KF) can be finetuned to predict to a certain extent short term future deformations. In this paper, we are expanding the Kalman filter into a Hybrid Extended Kalman filter (HEKF) to fine tune itself by relaxing the oscillator parameters at each individual pixel. Results show that HEKF performs significantly better than linear KF.

CT imagereconstructionfromincompletedata, such as sparse views and limited angle reconstruction, is an important and challenging problem in medical imaging. This work proposes a new deep convolutional neural network (CNN), called JSR-Net, that jointly reconstructs CT images and their associated Radon domain projections. JSR-Net combines the traditional model based approach with deep architecture design of deep learning. A hybrid loss function is adopted to improve the performance of the JSR-Net making it more effective in protecting important image structures. Numerical experiments demonstrate that JSR-Net outperforms some latest model based reconstruction methods, as well as a recently proposed deep model.

X-ray computerized tomography (CT) and acoustic CT are two main medical imaging modalities based on two intrinsically different physical phenomena. X-ray CT is based on xray's attenuation when x-ray passes through medium. It has been well known that the Radon transform is the imaging theory for x-ray CT. Photoacoustic CT is a type of acoustic CT, which is based on differentiating electromagnetic energy absorption among media. In 1998 a new 3D reconstruction concept, the P-transform, was proposed to serve the imaging theory for photoacoustic CT. In this paper it was rigorously proved that both x-ray CT and photoacoustic CT are governed by a unified imaging theory. 3D data acquisition can be completed in 2pi stereoangle. This new imaging theory realized, in part, the dream of all physicists, including Albert Einstein, who have long believed that our world is ultimately governed by few simple rules.

Spotlight-mode synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imaging has a close resemblance to tomographic imagereconstructionfromincomplete view data. A new algorithm (PRDF), designed for reconstructing tomographic imagery fromincomplete view data, is described. The results of applying the PRDF algorithm to reconstruct a human thorax cross-section from simulated X-ray projection data are furnished. An algorithm which is basically a special case of PRDF is suggested for spotlight-mode SAR imaging.

Multi-slice helical beam scanning involves cone-beam geometry. The primary advantages for use of divergent cone-beams include reduced data acquisition, improved image resolution and optimized photon utilization. Due to the complexity of 3-dimensional cone-beam reconstruction, approximate algorithms have been sought to handle the cone-beam reconstruction. This paper presents a new approximate algorithm termed as oblique surface reconstruction (OSR). Theoretical considerations as well as the reconstruction of simulated phantom data in comparison to the current standard 180 degrees LI are presented. OSR is shown to be effective and practical to generate images with diagnostic quality.

In many experimental observation systems where the goal is to record a 3-dimensional observation of an object, or a set of objects, a lower dimensional projection of the intended subject is obtained. In some situations only the statistical properties of such objects is desired: the three dimensional probablility density function. This article demonstrates that under special symmetries this function can be obtained from a two dimensional probability density function which, has been obtained from the observed, projected data. Standard tomographic theorems can be used to guarantee the uniqueness of this function and a natural basis set can be used in computing the three dimensional function from the two dimensional projection. Here, the theory of this inversion is explored from a theoretical and numerical point of view with some examples of data functions taken from scientific experiments

The authors are interested in the reconstruction of 3-D objects from various sources of incompletedata as well as apriori knowledge about the object under reconstruction. As data sources use is made of conventional Xray projections as well as CAT scans perpendicular to the Xray planes. These data sources were chosen because they are complementary to each other, in the sense that information not found in one set can be found in the other.

When imaging through the atmosphere, the resulting image contains not only the desired scene, but also the adverse effects of all the turbulent air mass between the camera and the scene. These effects are viewed as a combination of non-uniform blurring and random shifting of each point in the received short-exposure image. Corrections for both aspects of this combined distortion have been tackled reasonably successfully by previous efforts. A potentially more robust method of restoring the geometry is presented, which is also better suited to real-time implementation. The improvements were achieved by replacing the concept of prototype frame with the sequential registration of each frame with its nearest neighbour and the accurate accumulation of shiftmaps from any one frame to another without redundant calculations.

imagereconstruction is the transformation process from some other data forms to image pixels. It can be utilized as a method to retrieve material composition information in materials characterization and design. In our previous work, a so-called surfacelet model was proposed to construct the geometric boundary and internal material distribution of heterogeneous materials at the same time. A surfacelet transform is able to efficiently represent boundary information in images of materials. In this paper, new constrained-conjugate-gradient-based imagereconstruction methods are proposed as the inverse surfacelet transform. With geometric constraints on internal boundaries of materials, the proposed method is able to automatically identify the locations and orientations of the internal boundaries based on prior knowledge so as to reconstruct material composition with incompletedata.
