Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the in-situ X-ray CT reconstruction from occluded projection data. For each X-ray beam, we propose a method to determine whether it passes through a measured object by comparing the observed data before and after the measured object is placed. Therefore, we can obtain a prior knowledge of the object, that is some points belonging to the background, from the X-ray beam paths that do not pass through the object. We incorporate this prior knowledge into the sparse representation method for in-situ X-ray CT reconstruction from occluded projection data. In addition, the regularization parameter can be determined easily using the artifact severity estimation on the identified background points. Numerical experiments on simulated data with different noise levels are conducted to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.
