Simultaneous reconstruction and segmentation of CT scans with shadowed data.

Abstract

We propose a variational approach for simultaneous reconstruction and multiclass segmentation of X-ray CT images, with limited field of view and missing data. We propose a simple energy minimisation approach, loosely based on a Bayesian rationale. The resulting non convex problem is solved by alternating reconstruction steps using an iterated relaxed proximal gradient, and a proximal approach for the segmentation. Preliminary results on synthetic data demonstrate the potential of the approach for synchrotron imaging applications.
