TOmographic MOdel-BAsed Reconstruction software PAPER (CT Meeting 2020) ToMoBAR is a Python and Matlab (not currently maintained) library of direct and model-based regularised iterative reconstruction algorithms with a plug-and-play capability. ToMoBAR offers you a selection of various data models and regularisers resulting in complex objectives for tomographic reconstruction. ToMoBAR can handle multi-GPU parallel reconstruction in Python and also device-to-device methods operating on CuPy arrays.

Master	Anaconda binaries

NEW in ToMoBAR since v.2024.01:

• DOCUMENTATION is available. Various tutorials are presented and references to API given.
• CuPy-enabled 3D FISTA-OS with regularisation all in-device implementation. It should be 3-5 times faster than the non-CuPy version depending on the GPU device in use and the size of the data.
• Now one can specify the axes labels to describe the input data so it will be automatically passed in the right format to the method. See this Demo.
• Demos changed to adhere the recent changes in TomoPhantom v.3.0.

Software includes:

• A wrapper around ASTRA-toolbox to simplify access to various reconstruction methods available in ASTRA
• Regularised iterative ordered-subsets FISTA reconstruction algorithm with linear and non-linear data fidelities
• Regularised iterative ADMM reconstruction algorithm
• CuPy driven forward/backward projectors to enable faster device-to-device operations and all in GPU memory protoyping of algorithms
• Access to multi-GPU capability through mpi4py library
• Demos to reconstruct synthetic and also real data [4-6]
