| Popis: | In some computed tomography (CT) applications, limited-angle projections are used for image reconstruction, and traditional reconstruction methods, such as filtered back-projection (FBP) or simultaneous algebraic reconstruction technique (SART), cannot reconstruct high-quality CT images without prior knowledge assistance. For limited-angle CT reconstruction, total variation minimization (TVM) method is not conductive to recovering image structures. Image reconstruction methods based on anisotropic total variation (ATV) and reweighted anisotropic total variation (RwATV) can significantly reduce the shading artifacts using prior knowledge of the scanning angular range and image sparsity. However, using the knowledge of image sparsity does not further improve image quality in some applications. In this paper, we propose a new reconstruction method based on anisotropic relative total variation (ARTV) for limited-angle CT reconstruction. In ARTV, the windowed inherent variation (WIV) indicates the strength of structure information and WIV values are adaptively determined by local structure information. In limited-angle CT, particular scanning angular range urges us into exerting different strengths on different directions of ARTV. Experiments on FORBILD HEAD phantom, a thoracic image and real projections of a walnut are performed to test the new method. Experimental results show that the destroyed structures are recovered to some extent, and we acquire higher image quality compared to some existing limited-angle CT reconstruction methods. |
