The general quadratic Radon transform

From MaRDI portal





The authors investigate the general quadratic Radon transform in two dimensions where the integration is over all conic sections. First, they consider the restriction of this transform on all parabolas with focus at the origin. It is shown that almost all internal distributions can be reconstructed from integrals over such parabolas. Integrating over parabolas gives a chance to investigate half-infinite objects, compared to the classical Radon transform which requires integration on lines, infinite in both directions. At the same time, it is shown that the classical Radon transform and the parabolic isofocal Radon transform are closely related. Further, the authors discuss the general quadratic Radon transform and show how it can be derived from integrals over all parabolas by solving a related Cauchy problem.
