Description of the operator PG (first line). A grid of points is created; one coefficient is assigned to each point on the grid. The result is convolved by a two-dimensional Gaussian function (depicted as green circles), and projected to obtain a sinogram. An equivalent approach (second line) consists of first projecting the `point coefficients' with an appropriate projector, and convolving each line of the sinogram by a one-dimensional Gaussian function. |
