Irregular sampling and the Radon transform

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: In image reconstruction there are techniques that use analytical formulae for the Radon transform to recover an image from a continuum of data. In practice, however, one has only discrete data available. Thus one often resorts to sampling and interpolation methods. This article presents an approach to the inversion of the Radon transform that uses a discrete set of samples which need not be completely regular.


This interesting paper introduces a method of Radon transform inversion that uses a discrete set of samples. The authors show (Theorem 2.1) that every band limited function can be reconstructed from an appropriate irregular set of points using translations of the fundamental solution of any operator of the form \(\Delta+\varepsilon\), \(\varepsilon\geq 0\) \((\Delta\) is the Laplacian). The inversion is based on an irregular Poisson summation formula, which follows from the above theorem via Fourier transform. The authors also show how the computational algorithm can be improved by using the irregular sampling inversion in conjunction with the fast Fourier transform. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0941.00009].
