bullet Abstract:

In this work, we concentrate on self-calibration of X-ray systems. By self-calibration, we consider the situation when we need to define parameters of X-ray projection models with markers in a calibration system of unknown geometry or without markers. We consider few classical X-ray models. Firstly, the 3D cone-beam model with divergent beams and with the general source trajectory is calibrated with the bundle adjustment method. It’s shown theoretically in the 3D cone-beam geometry that any system with such an integral model cannot be geometrically calibrated better then up to a similarity transformation. Secondly, for the 2D parallel geometry with parallel beams and the 2D fan-beam geometry with divergent beams and sources on a line we propose a geometric calibration based on data consistency conditions (DCC) on distributions. In this case, we extend the known DCC from functions to distributions. We model markers with Dirac distributions and construct new analytical procedures to calibrate using special calibration cages. Lastly, by the analogy with the 2D case, we construct similar calibration procedures for the cases of the cone-beam with sources on a line and the cone-beam with sources in the plane parallel to the detector plane. We present numerical simulations in each case.
