Field of imaging

摘要

Embodiments of the present invention provide a computer-based method for providing image data of a region of a target object (31), comprising the steps of estimating (706) a first intermediate object function indicating at least one characteristic of a first sub-region (501, 503) of said region of the target object, estimating (706) a second intermediate object function indicating at least one characteristic of a second sub-region (502, 504) of said region of the target object, and combining (707) the first and second intermediate object functions to form a combined object function indicating at least one characteristic of the region of the target object (31).

1. A computer-based method for providing image data of a region of a target object, comprising the steps of:
estimating by a first computational unit a first intermediate object function indicating at least one characteristic of a first sub-region of said region of the target object; estimating by a second computational unit a second intermediate object function indicating at least one characteristic of a second sub-region of said region of the target object; wherein each sub-region of said region of the target object comprises information relating to one or more selected areas of the target object, and the first and second intermediate object functions are estimated by the first and second computational units at least in part in parallel; determining a weighting factor for each selected area of the target object based upon a relative amplitude of a probe function for the respective area; and combining at a computation unit the first and second intermediate object functions to form a combined object function indicating at least one characteristic of the region of the target object.
