ABSTRACT:
Multi-dimensional wavelet tomography is performed by iteratively projecting a multi-dimensional image across a range of orientations so as to produce a plurality of one-dimensional projections which collectively form a projection image thereof; and then performing wavelet decomposition upon the projection image thereof so as to form a plurality of projection subimages each containing particular boundary and angular characteristics of the original image. Such wavelet decomposition facilitates segmentation and reconstruction of selected characteristics of the original image.
