iradon_speedy

Faster, mex-based version iradon

Description

This is a mex-accelerated implementation of iradon. It is a small modifidation to the standard iradon.m file, calling a mex-implemented routine that takes care of the most time-consuming part of the process, the backprojection. The C-code for the mex file is included, and is easily compiled at the Matlab command prompt using
  >> mex Backproject.c
While iradon_speedy.m contains all the same options as the original iradon.m, the mex function is only used when iradon_speedy is called with either the nearest-neighbour or linear interpolation options (just because I didn't implement any of the other interpolation options).

Here is an example run:
>> f = phantom(256);
>> R = radon(f, 0:179);
>> f = iradon_speedy(R, 0:179, 'linear', 'Ram-Lak', 1, 256);

Simple as that. Speed-up factors range from 1.7 to 6.4, depending on the reconstruction scenario, and the compiler used.

• Required Products: Image Processing Toolbox
• MATLAB release: MATLAB 7.3 (R2006b)

 hiii..plz tell me interval so you used the command
f = phantom (256);
before the Radon transform used in the method of reconstruction retroprojection

THIS FILE IS OBSOLETE! It seems that Matlab has incorporated this mex-based speedup into its standard distribution.
