Radon and Abel Transform equivalence in atmospheric radio occultation

Abstract: [1] The Radon Transform plays a central role in the image reconstruction technique known as computed tomography, used commonly in radio astronomy and medical imaging. Although usually formulated as a projection of a spatial density function along straight ray paths, the Radon Transform kernel also permits curved path projections, providing the path can be defined. Reformulation of the Radon Transform as a path integral for the case of a radio ray refracting in a spherically symmetric atmosphere leads directly … Show more

“…Abel inversion is widely used in plasma physics to obtain the electronic density from phase-shift maps obtained by laser interferometry [35] or radial emission patterns from observed plasma radiances [21,32]. Photoion and photoelectron imaging in molecular dynamics [17], evaluation of mass density and velocity laws of stellar winds in astrophysics [13,30], and atmospheric radio occultation signal analysis [28,37] are additional fields which frequently require the numerical solution of Abel's equations of type (1).…”

“…For example: Thomson (2007) proposed in his research that radio occultation measurements made with a receiver inside the earth's atmosphere can be inverted with an Abel transform to provide an estimate of atmospheric refractive index profile. Healy et al (2002), also proposed in their study that the reformulation of the radon transform as path integral for the case of a radio ray refracting in a spherical symmetric atmosphere can be change to Abel transformation as both are equivalent in atmospheric radio occultation and I agree with their proposed theory.…”

“…reconstruct the 3D attenuation map slice by slice, which ignores the longitudinal tilt of x-ray paths. For each slice reconstruction, one needs to solve the Abel transform [1,10]. The reconstruction map by FDK method often suffers from strong artefacts for long objects.…”
