There is a widening gap between the fast advancement of computational methods for tomographic reconstruction and their successful implementation in production software at various synchrotron facilities.

In this framework, ADMM breaks joint problem into two well-defined subproblems: ptychographic phase retrieval and tomographic reconstruction. paper, we use gradient descent algorithm both problems demonstrate efficiency proposed approach through numerical...
While the advances in synchrotron light sources, together with development of focusing optics and detectors, allow nanoscale ptychographic imaging materials biological specimens, corresponding experiments can yield terabyte-scale large volumes data that impose a heavy burden on computing platform.

Here we introduce briefly review four recently developed...
We describe a computational imaging system for x-ray tomography, where image capture and post-processing are co-designed to improve final quality when relative motion of an experiment’s components during single exposure causes blur. The idea is based on temporally encoding the each by fluttering detector shutter open closed with known sequence guaranteeing invertible blur kernel. While generally applicable, we demonstrate our approach simulating blurry data acquisition transmission...

However, the accuracy reconstructed ptychography image highly dependent on recorded probe positions which often contain errors. These errors are typically corrected jointly with phase retrieval through numerical optimization approaches. When error accumulates along scan path or when magnitude large, these approaches may not converge satisfactory result. We...
