Title: The industrial use of filtered back projection and maximum entropy reconstruction algorithms

Journal Article · · Mater. Eval.; (United States)
OSTI ID:5990935

Industrial tomography involves applications where experimental conditions may vary greatly. Some applications resemble more conventional medical tomography because a large number of projections are available. However, in other situations, scan time restrictions, object accessibility, or equipment limitations will reduce the number and/or angular range of the projections. This paper presents results from studies where both experimental conditions exist. The use of two algorithms, the more conventional filtered back projection (FBP) and the maximum entropy (MENT), are discussed and applied to several examples.
