We shall also compare the computational cost of the proposed reconstruction algorithm with the existing one which has position-dependent weight. To accomplish the objective listed above, we first formulate admissibility conditions on deformations that is required to exactly reconstruct the object from acquired sequential deformed projections and then derive the reconstruction algorithm to compensate the above listed deformations satisfying the admissibility conditions. For this, 2-D time-dependent deformation model is incorporated in the fan-beam FBP reconstruction algorithm with no backprojection weight, assuming the motion parameters being known. Finally the proposed reconstruction algorithm is evaluated with the motion corrupted projection data simulated on the computer.展开更多

A mathematical proof is then provided with the geometrical explanation of equi-spatial detectors. With this algorithm we can obtain exact region of interest (ROI) reconstruction if and only if every projecting line passing through the ROI intersects the free-form source trajectory,when the projections are not truncated. Furthermore,under the condi- tion that the source-to-detectors distance changes slowly enough relative to the length itself,we obtain a very good approximate reconstruction algorithm,which is the same as the algorithm of the circular trajectory except that the source-to-detectors distance is a function of the rotation angle. Then the algorithms are tested using the Shepp-Logan phantom and the experiment shows that the algorithms can get perfect numerical results.展开更多

However, similar to other rotating scatterometers, relatively larger wind retrieval errors occur in the nadir and outer regions compared with the middle regions of the swath. For the RFSCAT with the given parameters, a wind direction retrieval accuracy decreases by approximately 9 in the outer regions compared with the middle region. To address this problem, an advanced wind vector retrieval algorithm for the RFSCAT is presented. The new algorithm features an adaptive extension of the range of wind direction for each wind vector cell position across the whole swath according to the distribution histogram of a retrieved wind direction bias. One hundred orbits of Level 2A data are simulated to validate and evaluate the new algorithm. Retrieval experiments demonstrate that the new advanced algorithm can effectively improve the wind direction retrieval accuracy in the nadir and outer regions of the RFSCAT swath. Approximately 1.6 and 9 improvements in the wind direction retrieval are achieved for the wind vector cells located at the nadir and the edge point of the swath, respectively.展开更多
