Edge Informed Fourier Reconstruction from Non-Uniform Spectral Data
Description
The reconstruction of piecewise smooth functions from non-uniform Fourier data arises in sensing applications such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This thesis presents a new polynomial based resampling method (PRM) for 1-dimensional problems which uses edge information to recover the Fourier transform at its integer coefficients, thereby enabling the use of the inverse fast Fourier transform algorithm. By minimizing the error of the PRM approximation at the sampled Fourier modes, the PRM can also be used to improve on initial edge location estimates. Numerical examples show that using the PRM to improve on initial edge location estimates and then taking of the PRM approximation of the integer frequency Fourier coefficients is a viable way to reconstruct the underlying function in one dimension. In particular, the PRM is shown to converge more quickly and to be more robust than current resampling techniques used in MRI, and is particularly amenable to highly irregular sampling patterns.
