EXACT GRAYSCALE IMAGE RECONSTRUCTION FROM PROJECTIONS
This paper proposes a new method for the exact reconstruction of gray-scale images from projections. The image projections construct an accumulator array, which is used afterwards to reconstruct the original grayscale image by applying the proposed decomposition algorithm. The proposed method determines the number of projections and the number of rays in each projection that are required in order to achieve the reconstruction. These two parameters also define the dimensions of the accumulator array. Using an accumulator array with proper dimensions ensures that there is always a unique characteristic sample for each pixel, which is used during the reconstruction process to extract the pixel's grayscale value. During the reconstruction phase, the sinusoidal contribution of each pixel is removed from the accumulator array. At the end of the decomposition process the accumulator array becomes empty and the original image is exactly reconstructed. The experimental results confirm the robustness and efficiency of the proposed method.
