iradon() - Image Processing

I = iradon(R, theta) reconstructs the image I from
projection data in the two-dimensional array R.
The columns of R are parallel beam projection data. iradon assumes
that the center of rotation is the center point of the projections,
which is defined as ceil(size(R,1)/2).theta describes the angles (in degrees) at
which the projections were taken. It can be either a vector containing
the angles or a scalar specifying D_theta, the
incremental angle between projections. If theta is
a vector, it must contain angles with equal spacing between them.
If theta is a scalar specifying D_theta,
the projections were taken at angles theta = m*D_theta,
where m = 0,1,2,...,size(R,2)-1. If the input is
the empty matrix ([]), D_theta defaults
to 180/size(R,2).iradon uses the filtered back-projection
algorithm to perform the inverse Radon transform. The filter is designed
directly in the frequency domain and then multiplied by the FFT of
the projections. The projections are zero-padded to a power of 2 before
filtering to prevent spatial domain aliasing and to speed up the FFT.I = iradon(R,theta,interp,filter,frequency_scaling,output_size) specifies
parameters to use in the inverse Radon transform. You can specify
any combination of the last four arguments. iradon uses
default values for any of these arguments that you omit.interp specifies the type of interpolation
to use in the back projection. The available options are listed in
order of increasing accuracy and computational complexity. ValueDescription
'nearest'Nearest-neighbor interpolation 
'linear'Linear interpolation (the default)
'spline'Spline interpolation
'pchip'Shape-preserving piecewise cubic interpolation
'v5cubic'Cubic interpolation from MATLAB 5. This method does not extrapolate,
and it issues a warning and uses'spline' if X is
not equally spaced.
filter specifies the filter to use for frequency
domain filtering. filter can be any of the strings
that specify standard filters. ValueDescription
'Ram-Lak'Cropped Ram-Lak or ramp filter. This is the default.
The frequency response of this filter is | f |.
Because this filter is sensitive to noise in the projections, one
of the filters listed below might be preferable. These filters multiply
the Ram-Lak filter by a window that deemphasizes high frequencies.
'Shepp-Logan'Multiplies the Ram-Lak filter by a sinc function
'Cosine'Multiplies the Ram-Lak filter by a cosine function
'Hamming'Multiplies the Ram-Lak filter by a Hamming window
'Hann'Multiplies the Ram-Lak filter by a Hann window
'None'No filtering. When you specify this value, iradon returns
unfiltered backprojection data.
frequency_scaling is a scalar in the range
(0,1] that modifies the filter by rescaling its frequency axis. The
default is 1. If frequency_scaling is less than
1, the filter is compressed to fit into the frequency range [0,frequency_scaling],
in normalized frequencies; all frequencies above frequency_scaling are
set to 0.output_size is a scalar that specifies the
number of rows and columns in the reconstructed image. If output_size is
not specified, the size is determined from the length of the projections.output_size = 2*floor(size(R,1)/(2*sqrt(2)))If you specify output_size, iradon reconstructs
a smaller or larger portion of the image but does not change the scaling
of the data. If the projections were calculated with the radon function,
the reconstructed image might not be the same size as the original
image.[I,H] = iradon(...) returns the frequency
response of the filter in the vector H.[___]= iradon(gpuarrayR,___) reconstructs
the image gpuarrayI from projection data in the
gpuArray R. The input image and the return values
are 2-D gpuArrays. All other numeric arguments must be a double or
a gpuArray of underlying class double. This syntax
requires the Parallel Computing Toolbox™.Note:  


The GPU implementation of this function supports only nearest-neighbor
and linear interpolation methods for the back projection.

Syntax

I = iradon(R, theta)I = iradon(R,theta,interp,filter,frequency_scaling,output_size)[I,H] = iradon(...)[___]= iradon(gpuarrayR,___)

Example

output_size = 2*floor(size(R,1)/(2*sqrt(2)))
