Tomographic X-ray data of time-dependent 3D cross phantom

This is the documentation of the tomographic X-ray data of a dynamic cross phantom made available at http://www.fips.fi/dataset.php. The data can be freely used for scientific purposes with appropriate references to the data and to this document in http://arxiv.org/. The data set consists of (1) the X-ray sinogram with 16 or 30 time frames (depending on resolution) of 2D slices of the cross phantom, made by crossing aluminum and graphite sticks in melted candle wax and (2) the corresponding static and dynamic measurement matrices modeling the linear operation of the X-ray transform. Each of these sinograms was obtained from a measured 360-projection fan-beam sinogram by down-sampling and taking logarithms. The original (measured) sinogram is also provided in its original form and resolution.

This new version contains added file DataStatic_560x60.mat  with 80 time frames and DataStatic_1120x60.mat  with 230 time frames. You can run these files with the code example 2, which computes a Tikhonov regularized reconstruction using conjugate gradient algorithm.
