Radon transform | Rust & Python

Implementation of the Radon transform in Python and Rust.

The main goal of this repository is to benchmark an algorithmically identical implementation of the Radon transform in Python and Rust.

See pyradon for Python bindings of this implementation.

Rust

cargo run --bin benchmark --release

Notes

1. As usually done, this radon transform only computes rays with angles going from -pi/4 to pi/4 for numerically accurate integration along slopes. In order to compute the complete radon transform, apply the transform on the transposed image and merge the split transforms.
2. The integration is computed using the nearest method.
