Abstract

X-ray tomography reconstruction requires a set of projections that provides sufficient information for the examined region. Commonly, to ensure mathematically complete reconstruction, first, a continuous curve (trajectory) that fulfils the Tuy conditions is chosen. Second, this curve is sampled based on the Nyquist-Shannon sampling theorem. This two-step approach is efficient for most standard X-ray tomography scanning scenarios. For agile X-ray tomography systems, e.g. robot-supported computed tomography systems, choosing a set of projections based on a continuous curve is often not useful. Instead, sets of projections from arbitrary views might be necessary. This work combines the Tuy-Smith condition with conclusions from the Nyquist-Shannon sampling theorem. In particular, the maximal pixel size and a requirement for the arrangement of projections are formulated depending on the smallest relevant object feature and integrated into the Tuy-Smith condition. We derive a comprehensive condition for data completeness that can assess the completeness of any set of arbitrary projections, e.g. for complex scanning scenarios with robot-supported X-ray tomography systems.
