Preview: Playing with the Radon Transform

In this worksheet, please explore a bit about the radon transform.

1. Viewing simple images in the sinogram space.

View several simple images in the sinogram space. For each, try to explain what you see.

Note, by “explain what you see,” I mean try to reason about how the content of the image relates to

  • where the sinogram is nonzero

  • where the sinogram is particularly bright versus not.

Explain what you see

Explain what you see

You might try this example with the circle parameter to radon set to False. If you look at just the first column of the sinogram, what does that tell you? What about if you plot the column midway through the sinogram, corresponding to φ=90\varphi = 90

2. Manipulate a grayscale image in the radon/sinogram space.

Try a relatively simple image with a black background, will be quite a bit easier to understand. See a search like this.

Explain what you see in the sinogram.

Show and explain what happens if you zero out the middle NN rows of the sinogram.

You can use iradon to go from a sinogram back to the spatial domain.
