ABSTRACT

The iteration algorithm of three-dimensional tomography, the modifiedGershberg-Papulis algorithm is developed. Its accuracy characteristics have beendetermined by numerical simulations. Much attention has been paid to thepeculiarities of preliminary processing of the projection images from physicalexperiment. Algorithm is used for the reconstruction of the local emissioncoefficients in a micropinch discharge plasma. The analysis has revealed admissibleaccuracy of the algorithm, its sufficient stability to measurements noises, and theapplicability in the processing of a real experiment.

1. INTRODUCTION

The problem of the plasma spatial inhomogeneity is one of the main problemsfacing the plasma diagnostics investigations. The experimental procedures are neededthat could determine reliable spatial distribution of a variety of parameters, e.g.plasma emission coefficients, temperature and concentration of plasma components,spectral composition of the radiation etc. The tomographic methods have beendeveloped in order to determine such distributions. The problems of three-dimensional emission tomography, where the self-radiation of the total plasma volumeis recorded by two- dimensiona1l2dtectors are the most complicated both in view ofthe experiment and computation ' '

The number of observation views in such experiments is rather small (about3—10), and the reconstruction of objects tomograms with suitable accuracy is quite acomplex problem. The algorithm of such a problem should include the maximumaccessible a priori information about the studied plasma. The influence of such aninformation and the optimal means of its correction can be ascertained in a vastcomputer experiment.

The aim of the paper is to construct two iteration algorithms of three-dimensional tomography , to give a numerical simulation of their exactcharacteristics, and to discover real experimental measurements in the emissiondiagnostics of a micro-pinch discharge during processing of possibly all stages ofthe preliminary treatment of two-dimensional projections.

Let's formulate the problem of three-dimensional emission tomography of theplasma ( Fig. 1 ). Here n(k) is the sought three-dimensional distribution of the

i.e. the integral luminosity of the plasma recorded by any two-dimensional detectorof the radiation (f.e. photo film). By neglecting the refraction, scattering andself-absorption we get the relation between the integral and local chaacteristicsof the plasma in the form of integral equation of the radial P-transform

2 . THREE-DIMENSIONAL ITERATION ALGORITHM

The algorithms of compute omography (CT) for two-dimensional problems aredescribed in quite a detail in

-. We consider modifications of Gershberg-Papulis

three-dimensional iteration algorithm which continue the investigations of other1,9-12 . . . . . . 2',7,8,13-15authors . The CT algorithms without iteration are considered in

Three-dimensional modification of Gershberg-Papulis a1gorthm (3DMGP) isdestined for inversion of P-transform in a three-dimensional case . It is based onthe projection theorem, which is formulated in the following way for the case ofthree variables.

Let n(k) = n(x,y,z) be the function of three variables, a (u,v) itsO,(p

projection in (O,p) direction. Their Fourier transforms are designated as

v ) and ii(v , t, ) . Such a value of the function n(v ,v , ) on the plane,x y z U V X y Z

which intersects with the coordinate origin and has the normal vector T8(1 coincides

with the function a(v ,v ). We admit N projections of a (u,v)U V

According to the central slice theorem their Fourier transforms coincide withthe cross-sections of three-dimensional Fourier transform of the solution n(v) onthe planes, having the same directions of normal vectors and intersecting thecoordinate origin. Thus, we know the Fourier transform of the solution, based on thecombination of N planes. By interpolating the values of these planes to the entireFourier space we get the Fourier transform in some approximation of the soughtfunction. By making the reverse Fourier inversion we get the function. Then weintroduce an a priori information about the sought solution, i.e. about itspositiveness, and the found function is taken to be the first approximation to thesolution. Then we make the direct Fourier transform and turn to Fourier-domainagain. Into the obtained Fourier-coefficients we introduce the known values from theplanes and turn again to the spatial region. By introducing an a priori informationabout the solution into the found function we get the second approximation to thesolution, etc. The given iteration process can be written down in the following way:

—1-P-n= F nI x i—i

(2)hi , i=1

p i-iwhere F and F1, respectively, are the operators of the direct and inverse Fouriertransform, and are the operators of the introduced a priori information in

spatial and frequency domains, respectively, and is the Fourier image, obtained

as a result of initial interpolation.

In the algorithm of this paper we used the operator c1 which reduces to zero

all negative values of the function, and all values of the function outside a ballof a unit radius. As the operator ,, we took the operator which executes the

following operations for each of the planes with the known Fourier-coefficients ofthe sought solutions. They are: in any point A of the Fourier domain (the distance

from which to the given plane is cS) the value of Fourier-transform is given, equalto mean arithmetic between the value of this point and value in the plane at thepoint, which is the projection of A to this plane. At other points the value of

Fourier image does not change.

3. COMPUTER SIMULATIONS

In the plasma tomography. experiments7 the following problems of the computersimulation were solved:

a) what is the accuracy of the image reconstruction at small number of views;b) what is the sensitivity of such a solution to the measurement noise;c) what is the influence of the difference in the projections of various

directions on the final transform;

70 / SPIE Vol. 1843 Analytical Methods for Optical Tomography (1991)

d) what numerical procedures make it possible to control reciprocal binding ofthe projections, and their internal consistency.

The results of three-dimensional numerical simulations allow us to answer thesequestions.

The computer simulation includes calculation of the projections of the knownsimulation solution, and then, the inverse problems are solved by using theseprojections, the result of reconstruction being compared to the exact solution. Thecomparison of two net functions was made on the basis of the following norm:

where the summation is taken by all points. The norm (3. 1) is the discrete analog ofthe norm L

The numerical experiment was made, in the majority of cases on the grid17x17x17, and only in some cases on the grid 33x33x33. In all cases, excluding thecase of a very noisy projection without any smoothing or regularization in the firstiterations, we observed the convergence of the iteration process (i.e. the deviation1drased from iteration to iteration). By increasing the number of iterations 1

we observed in some cases a negligible increase in t. Normally, it took place at

large aspects of observation and constant thickness of the layer ó. In some cases weobserved a clear minimum in the dependence of value on the number of iteration,

and the first iteration revealed a sharp decrease in value 1. The behavior of the

dependence Z3 on the number of iteration practically repeated the behavior of the

chart i. For greater numbers of the iterations (- 20) we observed convergence in

the decreasing of the norm for most computer experiments. In all experiments,

where that norm was taken into account, it became less than 1% by the 20-thiteration. Thus we believe that the iteration process tends to some limit (in anycase, at constant parameters). Such a behavior of the dependence can be explained bythe fact that the errors that are introduced into the Fourier transform at everyiteration with the data deflection from the projection planes being compatible withthe value

Thus, from the divergence of algorithms one can conclude, that at large numbersof the iterations the iteration processes coincide in respect of the deviation

which tends to zero. Values A and tend to the constant limit, which depends

strongly on the polar angle of the projection (in numerical experiments all theprojection had the same polar angle, and were distributed uniformly by the azimuthalangle), and on the number of projections, to the lesser extent. The divergence ofthe algorithm can be observed in Fig.2. It shows the results of the gaussianreproduction with the parameters a=f3='=O.4, x0=y0=z0=O.O, where x0,y0,z0 are the

coordinates of the gaussian center. This phantom will be called below modl Ni.Fig.2 illustrates the norm , the upper curve corresponds to the angle 6=30 , thelower one to O=600, K=20 projections. It is seen that with decrease in the polarangle the deviation of the derived solution from the exact one increases5 igni f i cant ly.

The influence of the layer thickness ó on the accuracy of reconstruction isstudied in the numerical simulation. The first iterations reveal the rupture in thedependence of the solution error on the iteration number 1 at places of the layerthickness variation. The advantage of the constantly decreasing thickness of thelayer is illustrated in Fig.3(a,b).

Model N3 is the elliptical gaussian, placed at the coordinate origin, a=O.1,3=O.5, r=O.2. It was used to study the influence of noise on the imagereconstruct ion.

3.2. Reconstruction of tomograms: influence of noises

Two types of noises were simulated by a generator of random numbers:Type A - the noise level is 57. of the maximum value of projections;Type B - the noise level at each point is 20% of the value of projection at thispoint.

The noise was superimposed on the projection data. The noise of the A typedistorted the projections more strongly than that of the type B, the deviation ofthe error projections from the exact ones was more than 1007.. Perhaps, that was dueto the fact that the chosen model decreased rapidly to zero at the boundary of theregion, and therefore at most points the values of projections were close to zero.The noise of the B type, as expected, gave the deviation in the projection data ofthe order of 207..

The noise of A type caused divergence of the iteration process, i.e. thedeviation of increased. The dependencies L(l) and t3(l) are shown in Fig.4.

The noises are controlled by the median filtration method; smoothing was madeby 5 or 9 points. The followin results were obtained (values of errors are givenafter the 20th iteration, e = 60 ):

smoothing by 5 points: =38.6% A2=58.9%,

smoothing by 9 points: =47.9%, t2=46.5%

median filtration and smoothing by 5 points: z= 47.7%, 3%.

3.3. Information contents of projections

The projections obtained in different directionscapacities were studied on a complex composite model ofThe parameters of gaussians were chosen the following:

Such a model corresponds to two plasma jets and one ball-shaped subject. Thegrid 33x33x33 was chosen where x, y, z were taken varying in the limits of [-1, 1]. Athree-dimensional FFT operated with last values excluded from each of the grid withresulting grid dimensions 32x32x32.

4. TOMOGRAPHIC INVESTIGATIONS OF A MICROPINCH DISCHARGE PLASMA

The above algorithms are compared in this chapter at the example oç6the plasmaemission coefficients reconstruction for a real physical experiment using the"Micropinch" set-up.

4.1. Parameters of the set-up and imaging system

The condenser energy was 0.3-0.5 kJ, induction of the discharge gap was I'S- 100

kA. A micropinch is produced by current of the main discharge. The micropinch is thelocal region of hot dense plasma with electron temperature T0-' 1 keV, electron

density N 10 21 cm3and the sizes 100 tim, which is the source of intense

radiationin X-ray spectral region16.

The micropinch discharge plasma in the intrinsic X-ray emission was formed invacuum pin-hole chambers and recorded on the photo emulsion. The use of 6 zm-thickAl filters made it possible to produce the radiation with quantum energy hi.' 0.8keV. The distance from the radiation source to the chamber was 21 mm, and fromchamber to the film, 149 mm, which gave the magnification F=7. Spatial resolution ofpinhole chamber was 85 m in the film and 12 im in the object with holes 10-12 nn in

diameter The produced images were parallel projections, with good approximation(beam divergence was negligibly small)16.

The designed emission MR-tomograph was the cylindric vacuum chamber.Geometrical position of pinhole chambers is shown in Fig.8.

Fig.8. Scheme of the emission measurement arrangement.

78 ISPIE Vol. 1843 Analytical Methods for Optical Tomography (1991)

We have used the equatorial scheme of the radiation registration, where theoptical axes of all chambers were in the same plane and the angles between them wereidentical and equal to 300. As shown in Section 3. 1 , such a system is optimal forthe image reconstruction accuracy.

4.2. Experimental reconstruction of MPD plasma

Spectral composition and time characteristics of MPD X-ray radiation arestudied in17'18. It is shown that mainly the linear emission of L-ions Fe(7A<X<l7A)is recorded on a photo film in the range of energy quanta hvO.8 keV. It intensityis considerably higher than that of hard quanta. The pulse duration of soft X-rayFWHM is -- 2 ns. For a simple mathematical treatment the source was taken to beoptically thin. Time resolution of the intrinsic plasma radiation was absent atregistration, therefore the results were averaged and, actually, corresponded to theoutmost luminosity of the object in the studied spectral region.

The X-ray images of MPD plasma produced on the photo film UF-VR 19 are treatedon the automatic microdensitometer with step 85x85 m and fuilnumber of referencepoints 21x21=441. They were used as input data for the tomographic processing by3DMGP method.

At the first stage of 3DMGP processing we made pre-processing of the two-dimensional projection data: reduction of the background, smoothing, and transitionto the center of projection masses. In the frequ9cy domain we performed additionalfiltration with the regularization parameter a=1O taken from similar calculations.Mean-root square error of the three-dimensional object is 30-50%, and the error oftomogram reconstruction in central cross-sections (reciprocally perpendicularcross-sections of the plasma object by the planes transmitting the mass center) is20-30%. Fig.9 illustrates central cross-sections of the local plasma emissioncoefficients obtained after the 5-th iteration. Diameter of the reconstructionarea is 240 tim.

5 . CONCLUSIONS

The analysis of two three-dimensional iteration algorithms of the tomogramreconstruction for the emitting plasma showed the suitable accuracy of thealgorithms, stability to the measurement errors, possible applicability in realexperiments. One should note some physical, mathematical and computer aspects of theproblem, which can be considered as promising trends in three-dimensional tomographyof the plasma.

Physical model of the radiation propagation accepted in this work can bedeveloped, first of all, to the consideration of self-absorption of the radiation,which required reconstruction of th second three-dimensional distribution, i.e. thelocal coefficients of plasma absorption . Unfortunately, it would substantiallycomplicate the experiment and algorithms of its treatment, but the informationcapacity of such investigations increases considerably. Quite interesting inplasma diagnostics are the nontraditional formulations of tomographic problems inthe phase space: spectra- and chronotomography11'2022.

Further specified must be the procedures of an a priori data input into theiteration algorithms, i.e., using the information approach , developed by

I.G. Kazantsev23'24. In 3DMGP algorithms it is necessary to relate t1e innerparameter of the algorithm 5 with value Q. Method of minimal projections gives

the upper value for a three-dimensional object, which can also be used as an apriori information.

The search of optimal fast-operation with law memory of the iterationalgorithms is one of the problems of three-dimensional program realization. Thecomputer realization of these programs would allow one to reduce the calculationtime from hours and tens minutes to several minutes. Moreover, still actual is theproblem of representation of three-dimensional distributions. There are neededmodifications and further improvement in frames of reflection of diffuse plasmaobjects of the computer graphics programs (beam tracing, darkening etc. ). Perhaps,one should develop special data bases, which store initial projection data, resultsof their pre—processing, reproduced three-dimensional matrices of the plasmaemission, as well as libraries of ready plasma transforms in various cross—sectionsand different experimental conditions. Such DB could be an important informationsource for numerical simulation of three-dimensional gasdynamic and radiativeprocesses in the plasma.
