[Rtk-users] The result got from ADMMTV from shapp-logan generated from RTK

[Simon Rit]

Hi,
It looks to me that you haven't converged. I'm not the specialist of this
algorithm and the specialist won't be near a computer in the coming weeks
but when I try with more iterations in the data attachment term:
  rtkadmmtotalvariation -p . -r proj.mha -o admmtv.mha -g geo.xml
--spacing 1 --dimension 128 --alpha 1 --beta 1000 -n 10
it's more satisfactory. There are rings at the top and the bottom of the
cone-beam which should be reduced with more TV (greater alpha, see doc here
<http://www.openrtk.org/Doxygen/classrtk_1_1ADMMTotalVariationConeBeamReconstructionFilter.html>)
or with a finer spacing (see this publication
<http://dx.doi.org/10.1088/0031-9155/49/1/010>).
