Total Variation Regularization for Edge Preserving 3D SPECT Imaging in High Performance Computing Environments
نویسندگان
چکیده
Clinical diagnosis environments often require the availability of processed data in real-time, unfortunately, reconstruction times are prohibitive on conventional computers, neither the adoption of expensive parallel computers seems to be a viable solution. Here, we focus on development of mathematical software on high performance architectures for Total Variation based regularization reconstruction of 3D SPECT images. The software exploits the low-cost of Beowulf parallel architectures.

Combining Total Variation and Nonlocal Means Regularization for Edge Preserving Image Deconvolution
We propose a new edge preserving image deconvolution model by combining total variation and nonlocal means regularization. Natural images exhibit an high degree of redundancy. Using this redundancy, the nonlocal means regularization strategy is a good technique for detail preserving image restoration. In order to further improve the visual quality of the nonlocal means based algorithm, total va...
متن کاملAn Iterative Method for Edge-Preserving MAP Estimation When Data-Noise Is Poisson
In numerous applications of image processing, e.g. astronomical and medical imaging, data-noise is well-modeled by a Poisson distribution. This motivates the use of the negative-log Poisson likelihood function for data fitting. (The fact that application scientists in both astronomical and medical imaging regularly choose this function for data fitting provides further motivation.) However diff...

A penalized-likelihood (PL) SPECT reconstruction method using a modified regularizer that accounts for anatomical boundary side information was implemented to achieve accurate estimates of both the total target activity and the activity distribution within targets. In both simulations and experimental I-131 phantom studies, reconstructions from (1) penalized likelihood employing CT-side informa...
متن کاملTotal variation regularization for 3D reconstruction in fluorescence tomography: experimental phantom studies.
Fluorescence tomography (FT) is depth-resolved three-dimensional (3D) localization and quantification of fluorescence distribution in biological tissue and entails a highly ill-conditioned problem as depth information must be extracted from boundary measurements. Conventionally, L2 regularization schemes that penalize the euclidean norm of the solution and possess smoothing effects are used for...
متن کاملMorphologic gain-controlled regularization for edge-preserving super-resolution image reconstruction
Total Variation or Bilateral Total variation based regularization of ill-posed Super Resolution (SR) problem is well-established. However, the SR image reconstructed by this method produces ringing artifacts near strong edges. Second, the extension of SR Imaging to SR video always desire faster SR reconstruction process. In this paper we develop a gain-controlled based locally adaptive regulari...
