title: Image resampling on a cylindrical sector grid.
abstract: A cylindrical sector image grid with equal area pixels for representing tomographic images is described which offers computational advantages for some algebraic and stochastic reconstruction strategies. An evaluation of techniques for resampling from the cylindrical representation to the standard square pixel representation is included. The resampling techniques of nearest-neighbors, bilinear, cubic B spline, two high resolution cubic spline, and overlap weighting are evaluated by their noise propagation, resolution recovery, noise power spectra, and visual appearance.
