Mojette Transform implemented in LabVIEW

Abstract

The Mojette Transform is a mathematical transform that has approximately 20 years of research history. The transform is the exact definition of the Discrete Radon transform. Despite of the simplicity of its mathematics, this transform is a really computationally intensive procedure. The purpose of this paper is to introduce algorithms based on the Mojette Transform that the research group (composed from three university members) developed in recent years. These algorithms are mainly made for purposes of image processing, which are increasingly popular in fields where the real-time operation is of utmost importance. This is why was developed an algorithm that can reach nearly the runtime of real-time image processing needs. For the implementation the LabVIEW (trademark of National Instruments) was used. The benefits of using LabVIEW are explained, and the details of the new algorithm, that is different from the previous implementations presented in [12] and [13], are given. Finally partial results of the implementation of the proposed algorithms are discussed.
