Micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) is a widely used state-of-the-art instrument employed to study the morphological structures of objects in various fields. Object-rotation is a classical scanning mode in micro-CT allowing data acquisition from different angles; however, its field-of-view (FOV) is primarily constrained by the size of the detector when aiming for high spatial resolution imaging. Recently, we introduced a novel scanning mode called multiple source translation CT (mSTCT), which effectively enlarges the FOV of the micro-CT system. Furthermore, we developed a virtual projection-based filtered backprojection (V-FBP) algorithm to address truncated projection, albeit with a trade-off in acquisition efficiency (high resolution reconstruction typically requires thousands of source samplings). In this paper, we present a new algorithm for mSTCT reconstruction, backprojection-filtration (BPF), which enables reconstructions of high-resolution images with a low source sampling ratio. Additionally, we found that implementing derivatives in BPF along different directions (source and detector) yields two distinct BPF algorithms (S-BPF and D-BPF), each with its own reconstruction performance characteristics. Through simulated and real experiments conducted in this paper, we demonstrate that achieving same high-resolution reconstructions, D-BPF can reduce source sampling by 75% compared with V-FBP. S-BPF shares similar characteristics with V-FBP, where the spatial resolution is primarily influenced by the source sampling.

Video ControlNet: Towards Temporally Consistent Synthetic-to-Real Video Translation Using Conditional Image Diffusion Models
Authors:Ernie Chu, Shuo-Yen Lin, Jun-Cheng Chen
In this study, we present an efficient and effective approach for achieving temporally consistent synthetic-to-real video translation in videos of varying lengths. Our method leverages off-the-shelf conditional image diffusion models, allowing us to perform multiple synthetic-to-real image generations in parallel. By utilizing the available optical flow information from the synthetic videos, our approach seamlessly enforces temporal consistency among corresponding pixels across frames. This is achieved through joint noise optimization, effectively minimizing spatial and temporal discrepancies. To the best of our knowledge, our proposed method is the first to accomplish diverse and temporally consistent synthetic-to-real video translation using conditional image diffusion models. Furthermore, our approach does not require any training or fine-tuning of the diffusion models. Extensive experiments conducted on various benchmarks for synthetic-to-real video translation demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach, both quantitatively and qualitatively. Finally, we show that our method outperforms other baseline methods in terms of both temporal consistency and visual quality.
