Fast iterative model based methods from reduced sampling in 3D X-rays CTMS33

The reconstruction of X-Ray Ct images from low sampled data is of great interest in different applications, such as medicine or engineering. We follow a regularization approach with a smoothed differentiable Total Variation function . The problem is challenging for its very large size and because a good reconstruction is required in a very short time. We propose to use a gradient projection method, accelerated by exploiting a scaling strategy and generalized Barzilai-Borwein rules.
