Precise and Automated Tomographic Reconstruction with a Limited Number of Projections

This thesis proposed a parameter-optimized iterative reconstruction method (optimized-CGTV) for tomographic reconstruction with limited projections subject to the minimization of the total variation (TV). The reconstruction problem is solved with a parameter optimization applying a discrete L-curve. The optimized-CGTV reconstruction method is incorporated into an automatic framework of parallel 3D reconstruction on a computer cluster to achieve a rapid reconstruction process
