The algorithm is a generalization of DART to multi-channel data and alternately applies channel reconstructions and multi-channel segmentation to yield a final reconstructed segmentation. + +This package provides scripts for applying MC-DART with simulated X-ray data. In addition, the package provides scripts to reproduce the results of the experiments in the associated paper titled '[A Multi-Channel DART Algorithm](https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-030-05288-1_13)', in which the reconstruction mathod is demonstrated and analyzed on numerical 2D X-ray phantoms. ## Requirements @@ -50,7 +52,7 @@ The resulting plots (see examples below) will be located /results/plots folder. ## Example results -Below are data samples and the results of the MC-DART experiments: +Below are data samples and the results of the MC-DART experiments.
