Deep Incremental Angle Refinement Model for Limited-Angle CT Reconstruction - A Case Study on Concrete Specimens by Xingyu Liu, Guangpu Yang, Ammar Alsaffar, Faizan Ahmad, Steffen Kieß, Sven Simon

“…Our approach leverages the characteristics of CT projection by using reconstructed data of different limited angles as intermediate steps in the training process, replacing the traditional diffusion model of adding random Gaussian noise. This approach ensures data consistency in training process, mitigating the instability caused by sampling randomness of diffusion models. …”
