Description

Technical Field

[0002] CT (Computed Tomography) is a new non-destructive testing method formed by the intersection of computer science and high-energy physics. This technology realizes the scanning and reconstruction of tomographic images of the object being tested. It is widely used in fields such as medicine and industry.

[0003] Among CT image reconstruction algorithms, the most mature scanning reconstruction algorithm is filtered back projection reconstruction (FBP). This method is an analytical algorithm for image reconstruction and supports parallel computing, so it can reconstruct clearer CT images in a shorter time.

[0004] However, with the expansion of the application field of industrial CT, the rotation radius of the workpiece increases. The field of view defined by the detector size cannot completely cover the workpiece. However, most areas of the workpiece are usually not the detection area, and only part of the area of ​​interest to be detected, and this local area can be included in the field of view. However, only scanning this local area and then using filtered back projection reconstruction (FBP) will lead to serious truncation effects and produce artifacts. Therefore, it is particularly necessary to study a new industrial CT local scanning and reconstruction method to solve the above problems. Summary of the invention
