Comparison of a Noise-Weighted Filtered Backprojection Algorithm with the Standard MLEM Algorithm for Poisson Noise

Comparison of a noise-weighted filtered backprojection algorithm with the Standard MLEM algorithm for poisson noise.

Iterative maximum-likelihood expectation maximization and ordered-subset expectation maximization algorithms are excellent for image reconstruction and usually provide better images than filtered backprojection (FBP). Recently, an FBP algorithm able to incorporate noise weighting during reconstruction was developed. This paper compares the performance of the noise-weighted FBP algorithm and the...

A filtered backprojection algorithm with ray-by-ray noise weighting.

PURPOSE This paper derives a ray-by-ray weighted filtered backprojection (rFBP) algorithm, based on our recently developed view-by-view weighted, filtered backprojection (vFBP) algorithm. METHODS The rFBP algorithm directly extends the vFBP algorithm by letting the noise weighting vary from channel to channel within each view. The projection data can be weighted in inverse proportion to their...

A filtered backprojection MAP algorithm with nonuniform sampling and noise modeling.

PURPOSE The goal of this paper is to extend our recently developed FBP (filtered backprojection) algorithm, which has the same characteristics of an iterative Landweber algorithm, to an FBP algorithm with the same characteristics of an iterative MAP (maximum a posteriori) algorithm. The newly developed FBP algorithm also works when the angular sampling interval is not uniform. The projection no...

A Filtered-X RLS Algorithm for Nonlinear Active Noise Control

In this paper, a filtered-x recursive least squares (FX-RLS) algorithm based on adaptive 3rd-order Volterra filtering is proposed for nonlinear active noise control (ANC) of systems with a nonlinear primary acoustic path. The simulation results show that the proposed approach yields faster convergence, compared with the conventional methods (e.g., FX-NLMS and FX-GSPAP), for the nonlinear ANC. K...
