description Cone-beam computed laminography (CBCL) is widely used in non-destructive testing of plate-like samples due to flexible scanning geometry and fine image details. However, the Fourier domain defects lead to superimposed artifacts, which significantly degrade the image quality. This paper aims to assess the data distribution of CBCL projections in the Fourier domain, and to precisely delineate the Fourier defective volume. We derive the mapping scheme from CBCL projections to the Fourier domain using the Generalized Fourier Slice Theorem. Then, practical defect delineation methods are proposed for the cases of CBCL global scanning (i.e., non-truncated projections) and local scanning (i.e., truncated projections). Simulation experiments have been conducted to validate the proposed methods, indicating that the data incompleteness of CBCL is related not only to the scanning parameters but also to the shape and orientation of the object. Moreover, a de-artifacting algorithm based on Fourier priori information has been preliminarily implemented, which shows huge potential in efficiency and image quality over conventional SART-based algorithms.
