Schematic of virtual projection stitching of SR-PBI-CT from SR-PBI-HCT projections. Ii,j,k and are the gray value of the SR-PBI-HCT projection and the gray value of the converted virtual SR-PBI-CT projection at the positions (i, j, k) and (i′, j′, k′), respectively. i and i′ are the row indexes, j and j′ are the column indexes, and k and k′ are the projection indexes. is the linear interpolation result of Ii, j, k and Ii+1,j,k with a weight of 1 − w and w. The virtual SR-PBI-CT projection at an index of k′ is transformed from a sequence of SR-PBI-HCT projections at index of k, k + Np/2,…, k + (2NR − 1)Np/2 with an interval of Np/2. The total row M of the SR-PBI-HCT projection is while the total row M′ of the virtual SR-PBI-CT projection is . mod(·,·) denotes the modulo operator. |
