Fast inversion of the Radon transform using log-polar coordinates and partial back-projections
Författare
Summary, in English
In this paper a novel filtered back-projection algorithm for inversion of a discretized Radon transform is presented. It makes use of invariance properties possessed by both the Radon transform and its dual. By switching to log-polar coordinates, both operators can be expressed in a displacement invariant manner. Explicit expressions for the corresponding transfer functions are calculated. Furthermore, by dividing the back-projection into several partial back-projections, inversion can be performed by means of finite convolutions and hence implemented by an FFT-algorithm. In this way, a fast and accurate reconstruction method is obtained.
