We introduce and study a new Radon-like transform that averages projected differential p-forms in R^n over affine (n-k)-planes. We then prove an explicit inversion formula for our transform on the space of rapidly-decaying smooth p-forms.…
The paper is devoted to the range description of the Radon type transform that averages a function over all spheres centered on a given sphere. Such transforms arise naturally in thermoacoustic tomography, a novel method of medical imaging.…

A new multiplication-free transform derived from DHT is introduced: the RHT. Investigations on the properties of the RHT led us to the concept of weak-inversion. Using new constructs, we show that RHT is not involutional like the DHT, but…
Far-field characterization of small objects is severely constrained by the diffraction limit. Existing tools achieving sub-diffraction resolution often utilize point-by-point image reconstruction via scanning or labelling. Here, we present…
Radon transform and its inverse operation are important techniques in medical imaging tasks. Recently, there has been renewed interest in Radon transform for applications such as content-based medical image retrieval. However, all studies…
In this article, we give a unified proof of the end-point estimates of the totally-geodesic $k$-plane transform of radial functions on spaces of constant curvature. The problem of getting end-point estimates is not new and some results are…
Deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are broadly considered to be state-of-the-art generic end-to-end image classification systems. However, they are known to underperform when training data are limited and thus require data…
This paper presents a novel Direct Integration Theorem (DIT), derived as a non-trivial corollary of the classical Central Slice Theorem (CST). The DIT provides a mathematically consistent transition from the continuous to the discrete…
We consider a one-dimensional Radon transform on the group SO(3) which is motivated by texture goniometry. In particular we will derive several inversion formulae and compare them with the inversion of the one-dimensional spherical Radon…
