FP_CUDA

This is a GPU implementation of a simple forward projection algorithm for 2D data sets. It takes a volume as input, and returns the projection data.

Supported geometries: parallel, parallel_vec, fanflat, fanflat_vec.

Configuration options

name	type	description
cfg.ProjectionDataId	required	The astra_mex_data2d ID of the projection data. The forward projection is added to this data.
cfg.VolumeDataId	required	The astra_mex_data2d ID of the reconstruction data.
cfg.option.DetectorSuperSampling	optional	Specifies the amount of detector supersampling, i.e., how many rays are cast per detector.
cfg.option.GPUindex	optional	Specifies which GPU to use. Default = 0.

Example

%% create geometries
proj_geom = astra_create_proj_geom('parallel', 1.0, 256, linspace2(0,pi,180));
vol_geom = astra_create_vol_geom(256,256);

%% store volume
V = phantom(256);
volume_id = astra_mex_data2d('create', '-vol', vol_geom, V);

%% create forward projection
sinogram_id = astra_mex_data2d('create', '-sino', proj_geom, 0);
cfg = astra_struct('FP_CUDA');
cfg.ProjectionDataId = sinogram_id;
cfg.VolumeDataId = volume_id;
fp_id = astra_mex_algorithm('create', cfg);
astra_mex_algorithm('run', fp_id);
sinogram = astra_mex_data2d('get', sinogram_id);
imshow(sinogram, []);

%% garbage disposal
astra_mex_data2d('delete', sinogram_id, volume_id);
astra_mex_algorithm('delete', fp_id);

This functionality can also be found in the astra function:

[sinogram_id, sinogram] = astra_create_sino_cuda(V, proj_geom, vol_geom);
[sinogram_id, sinogram] = astra_create_sino_cuda(V_id, proj_geom, vol_geom);
