FP

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

Supported geometries: parallel, parallel_vec, fanflat, fanflat_vec, matrix.

Configuration options

name	type	description
cfg.ProjectorId	required	The astra_mex_projector ID of the projector.
cfg.ProjectionDataId	required	The astra_mex_data2d ID of the projection data. The content of this data is overwritten.
cfg.VolumeDataId	required	The astra_mex_data2d ID of the reconstruction data.
cfg.option.SinogramMaskId	optional	If specified, the astra_mex_data2d ID of a projection-data-sized volume to be used as a mask.
cfg.option.VolumeMaskId	optional	If specified, the astra_mex_data2d ID of a volume-data-sized volume to be used as a mask.

Example

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

%% 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');
cfg.ProjectorId = proj_id;
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_projector('delete', proj_id);
astra_mex_algorithm('delete', fp_id);

This functionality can also be found in the astra function:

[sinogram_id, sinogram] = astra_create_sino(V, proj_id);
[sinogram_id, sinogram] = astra_create_sino(V_id, proj_id);
