Liu, RuiLuo, YanYu, Hengyong2019-05-152019-05-152014http://hdl.handle.net/10919/89532The compressive sensing (CS) theory shows that real signals can be exactly recovered from very few samplings. Inspired by the CS theory, the interior problem in computed tomography is proved uniquely solvable by minimizing the region-of-interest's total variation if the imaging object is piecewise constant or polynomial. This is called CS-based interior tomography. However, the CS-based algorithms require high computational cost due to their iterative nature. In this paper, a graphics processing unit (GPU)-based parallel computing technique is applied to accelerate the CS-based interior reconstruction for practical application in both fan-beam and cone-beam geometries. Our results show that the CS-based interior tomography is able to reconstruct excellent volumetric images with GPU acceleration in a few minutes.application/pdfenCreative Commons Attribution 4.0 InternationalComputed tomographycompressed sensingparallel computinggraphics processing unitinterior tomographyArticle - Refereedhttps://doi.org/10.1109/ACCESS.2014.234037222169-3536
