Schematic representation of a typical tomography pipeline at synchrotrons. Hardware differences play an important role during sample preparation and data acquisition. Software differences affect image pre-processing, reconstruction and post-processing. Together these lead to differences in the output of analysis and parameter estimation studies. In this paper we propose a filter optimization method that works as a wrap-around routine on the reconstruction block. Our method only requires evaluations of the reconstruction routine and does not require any internal coding. The output of our method is a filter that can be used in the reconstruction block for more reproducible reconstructions. |
