About this event
X-ray has been a popular imaging modality widely used in medical, industrial and security applications. In conventional X-ray imaging, objects are superimposed onto a 2D image, so it is difficult to accurately find the shapes and positions of objects in 3D or to identify the materials of which they are made.
Computer Tomography (CT) has been used for 2D cross-sectional images and 3D reconstruction, but this requires many views, meaning a large dose of radiation, and its scanning geometry is unsuitable for many applications.
Are there any methods using fewer views to replace CT producing acceptable results, so we can for instance reconstruct bones in 3D, detect a bomb in a suitcase or investigate a whole cluttered lorry? Some existing alternative techniques and some new possible solutions will be discussed.
Cost
Free of charge.
