Abstract The ring artifacts introduced by the defective pixels with non-linear responses in the high-resolution detector, have a great impact on subsequent processing and quantitative analysis of the reconstructed images. In this paper, a multistep method is proposed to suppress the ring artifacts of micro CT images, which firstly locates the positions of the defective pixels in the sinogram, and then corrects the corresponding value in the projections. Since the defective pixels always appear as vertical stripes in the sinogram, a horizontal curve is derived by summing the pixel values along vertical direction, thus the abrupt… More >
