Projection and adjoint¶
This is a brief tutorial that explains how to perform the two fundamental operations of tomography, the projection and adjoint. It uses the SAXSProjector
class, which is a relatively simple projector that uses only CPU resources. The simulated data used in the rendered version of this tutorial can be obtained using, e.g., wget
with
wget https://zenodo.org/records/7326784/files/saxstt_dataset_M.h5
It’s recommended that you read the section Reconstruct and Visualize first, which goes over basics of data loading and reconstruction, whereas this tutorial goes into the details of the projection operations that make up the reconstruction.

Loading data¶
For details on these steps, see the tutorial “Reconstruct and visualize”. We will also be using the data_container
of input data from the DataContainer
instance.
[2]:
data_container = DataContainer('saxstt_dataset_M.h5')
projections = data_container.projections
INFO:Rotation matrix generated from inner and outer angles, along with inner and outer rotation axis vectors. Rotation and tilt angles assumed to be in radians.

Looking at the simulated data¶
We’re going to compare projections calculated from a simulated model to simulated projections with noise.
We will be using a SAXSProjector
object for our computations. We suppress some of the warnings that it outputs which are not useful to us.
[3]:
projector = SAXSProjector(data_container.geometry)
logger = logging.getLogger('mumott.methods.projectors.saxs_projector')
logger.setLevel(logging.CRITICAL)
The model coefficients need to be loaded directly using h5py
. The last index runs over the spherical harmonic coefficients.
[4]:
with h5py.File('saxstt_dataset_M.h5') as file:
model = np.copy(file['model/coefficients'])
print(model.shape)
(50, 50, 50, 91)
We will use the projection_matrix
to do the necessary mapping into detector segment space. This matrix contains the necessary coefficient to map spherical harmonic coefficients to line integrals on the sphere, which correspond to detector segments. The shape of sph_matrices
corresponds to (projection number, segment number, coefficient number).
[5]:
basis_set = SphericalHarmonics(ell_max=12)
residual_calculator = GradientResidualCalculator(data_container, basis_set, projector)
sph_matrices = basis_set.projection_matrix
display(sph_matrices.shape)
(417, 8, 91)
To calculate the projections, we use the coefficients in model
as our input. model
already has the necessary shape and the required dtype
of float64
. We select an index somewhat at random.
It is generally more efficient to first project the coefficients, and then map to the detector segment space, than to compute a matrix product over the entire volume. This is especially true when projecting in several directions sequentially.
[6]:
index = 56
projection = projector.forward(field=model, indices=np.array((index,)))
projection = projection @ sph_matrices[index].T
We now plot a segment of the projection we got from the file, the projection we just calculated, and their absolute difference.
[7]:
fig, axes = plt.subplots(ncols=3, figsize=(12, 4))
kwargs = dict(origin='lower', cmap='cet_gouldian')
d = axes[0].imshow(projections[index].data[..., 0].T, **kwargs)
plt.colorbar(d, ax=axes[0], orientation='horizontal')
p = axes[1].imshow(projection[..., 0].T, **kwargs)
plt.colorbar(p, ax=axes[1], orientation='horizontal')
diff = axes[2].imshow(abs(projections[index].data[..., 0].T - projection[0, ..., 0].T), origin='lower', cmap='cet_fire', vmax=2)
plt.colorbar(diff, ax=axes[2], orientation='horizontal')

The adjoint¶
The adjoint is essentially the partial derivative of the volume with respect to the projection. It’s also called a back-projection, and it is essential to solving for a volume given a set of projections.
[8]:
adjoint = projector.adjoint(projections=projection, indices=np.array((index,)))
We plot a slice in the middle of the adjoint through the xy
-plane.
[9]:
f, ax = plt.subplots(1, figsize=(8,8))
a0 = ax.imshow(adjoint[:, :, 25, 0].T, origin='lower', cmap='cet_gouldian', vmax=40)
ax.set_title('Adjoint')
plt.colorbar(a0, ax=axes)
