CT Image Reconstruction by Spatial-Radon Domain Data-Driven Tight Frame Regularization
This paper proposes a spatial-Radon domain CT image reconstruction model
based on data-driven tight frames (SRD-DDTF). The proposed SRD-DDTF model
combines the idea of joint image and Radon domain inpainting model of
\cite{Dong2013X} and that of the data-driven tight frames for image denoising
\cite{cai2014data}. It is different from existing models in that both CT image
and its corresponding high quality projection image are reconstructed
simultaneously using sparsity priors by tight frames that are adaptively
learned from the data to provide optimal sparse approximations. An alternative
minimization algorithm is designed to solve the proposed model which is
nonsmooth and nonconvex. Convergence analysis of the algorithm is provided.
Numerical experiments showed that the SRD-DDTF model is superior to the model
by \cite{Dong2013X} especially in recovering some subtle structures in the
images
A multiscale regularized restoration algorithm for XMM-Newton data
We introduce a new multiscale restoration algorithm for images with few
photons counts and its use for denoising XMM data. We use a thresholding of the
wavelet space so as to remove the noise contribution at each scale while
preserving the multiscale information of the signal. Contrary to other
algorithms the signal restoration process is the same whatever the signal to
noise ratio is. Thresholds according to a Poisson noise process are indeed
computed analytically at each scale thanks to the use of the unnormalized Haar
wavelet transform. Promising preliminary results are obtained on X-ray data for
Abell 2163 with the computation of a temperature map.Comment: To appear in the Proceedings of `Galaxy Clusters and the High
