This document discusses two-dimensional image reconstruction algorithms. It begins with an introduction to image projections and reconstruction. It then describes different types of projections like parallel beam, fan beam, and truncated projections. It discusses the convolution back projection algorithm and its digital implementation. Results are shown for different filters. Applications include medical imaging. Present research focuses on limited data reconstruction. The document concludes that image reconstruction is an ill-posed problem.

7. Inverse Radon Transform
For reconstruction of the image, we define Inverse Radon Transform
(IRT) which helps us achieve in defining the image from its projection data.
Inverse Radon Transform is defined as:
f(x,y) =
9. Rebinning
Fan Beam Projections can be related to parallel beam projection data as:
s = Dsinα ; θ = α + β;
Therefore,
g(s,θ) = b(sin-1 s/D, θ - sin-1 s/D);
Hence to obtain g(sm,θm) we interpolate b(α,β).
This process is called Rebinning.

19. Applications
Digital image reconstruction is a robust means by which the underlying images
hidden in blurry and noisy data can be revealed.
Reconstruction algorithms derive an image of a thin axial slice of the object, giving
an inside view otherwise unobtainable without performing surgery. Such techniques
are important in medical imaging (CT scanners), astronomy, radar
imaging, geological exploration, and non-destructive testing of assemblies.

20. Present Research
Presently, the key concern is on Reconstruction of objects using
limited data such as truncated projections, limited projections etc… Filtered
Back-projection (FBP) Algorithms have been implemented since the system is
faster when compared to CBP Algorithm. Also new techniques such as
Discrete Radon Transform (DRT) Techniques have been implemented to
achieve the goal.
Also Fan Beam projections are considered for 2D image
reconstructions, since less number of projections will be required when
compared to parallel beam projections. Also from the conventional fixed focal
length Fan-Beam projections, we have observed that the research is moved
onto defining variable focal length Fan-Beam Projections.
21. Conclusion
Image reconstruction is unfortunately an ill-posed problem.
Mathematicians consider a problem to be well posed if its solution (a)
exists, (b) is unique, and (c) is continuous under infinitesimal changes of the
input. The problem is ill posed if it violates any of the three conditions.
In image reconstruction, the main challenge is to prevent
measurement errors in the input data from being amplified to unacceptable
artifacts in the reconstructed image.
“New techniques are being implemented, and tested to overcome
these problems.”
