Combining Kronecker-Basis-Representation Tensor Decomposition and Total Variational Constraint for Spectral Computed Tomography Reconstruction by Xuru Li, Kun Wang, Yan Chang, Yaqin Wu, Jing Liu

“…The method based on tensor decomposition can effectively remove noise by exploring the correlation of energy channels, but it is difficult for traditional tensor decomposition methods to describe the problem of tensor sparsity and low-rank properties of all expansion modules simultaneously. To address this issue, an algorithm for spectral CT reconstruction based on photon-counting detectors is proposed, which combines Kronecker-Basis-Representation (KBR) tensor decomposition and total variational (TV) regularization (namely KBR-TV). …”
