Image for Discrete Radon transform

Discrete Radon transform

The Discrete Radon Transform is a mathematical technique used to analyze images by converting them into sets of line projections. Imagine shining X-ray beams through an object from different angles; the resulting images are like summaries of the object’s interior from each direction. In digital images, the Discrete Radon Transform calculates these projections efficiently, capturing how pixel values align along lines at various angles. This process is useful in medical imaging, computer vision, and tomography, enabling reconstruction or feature detection by examining the data from multiple perspectives.
