Comparison of reconstructions of the 3-D BrainWeb phantom corrupted with streak and Poisson noise as in (3)[link], corresponding to the sinograms shown in Fig. 4[link]. Top: ground truth volume, and reconstructions of ln(A) (3)[link] and Z (4)[link] obtained through filtered back-projection. Bottom: comparison of TV reconstruction of estimates with various regularization strengths r, where the percentage implies a multiplier to the regularization optimized to maximize SNR, i.e. 100% means `SNR-optimal' regularization. Top-to-bottom: proposed full estimate ln(A), proposed streak-free estimate [\hat{Y}], and streak-free estimate of [\hat{Y}] (Vo et al., 2018)BB35, each with 100%, 50%, and 150% relative regularization strengths. Proposed estimates are computed embedding the improved BM4D. Notably, the full filtering offers improved reconstruction quality, and is also less sensitive to variations in the regularization parameters.
