DISCRETE TOMOGRAPHIC RECONSTRUCTION OF BINARY IMAGES WITH DISJOINT COMPONENTS USING SHAPE INFORMATION
Péter Balázs · International Journal of Shape Modeling · 2008
We present a general framework for reconstructing binary images with disjoint components from the horizontal and vertical projections. We develop a backtracking algorithm that works for binary images having components from an arbitrary class. Thus, a priori knowledge about the components of the image to be reconstructed can be incorporated into the reconstruction process. In addition, we show how to extend the algorithm to obtain a branch-and-bound scheme useful to reconstruct images satisfying some further properties (for example similarity to a model image) as much as possible. Experimental results are also presented.
