Abstract

In this paper, we propose a new simultaneous reconstruction and segmentation (SRS) model in X-ray computed tomography (CT). The new SRS model is based on the Gaussian mixture model (GMM). In order to transform non-separable log-sum term in GMM into a form that can be easy solved, we introduce an auxiliary variable, which in fact plays a segmentation role. The new SRS model is much simpler comparing with the models derived from the hidden Markov measure field model (HMMFM). Numerical results show that the proposed model achieves improved results than other methods, and the CPU time is greatly reduced.
