A Fuzzy Clustering-Based X-Ray Computed Tomography Simulation under Incomplete Measurements

Article Preview

Abstract:

The existing x-ray computed tomography algorithm simulation assume the complete measurements of the investigated objectives to be available, but this is not true in most applications. To overcome the problem, we creatively propose a method of image reconstruction based on fuzzy clustering algorithm under limited measurements. Different from the existing algorithms, we map all measurements into a set of vectors and cluster all vectors for the image reconstruction. The proposed algorithm aims to be easily realized, lower time complexity, and applicable in a real-time manner in case of limited measurements of the investigated objectives. Experiments demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed algorithm.
