Tomographic X-ray data of a walnut

This is the documentation of the tomographic X-ray data of a walnut made available at this http URL . The data can be freely used for scientific purposes with appropriate references to the data and to this document in arXiv. The data set consists of (1) the X-ray sinogram of a single 2D slice of the walnut with three different resolutions and (2) the corresponding measurement matrices modeling the linear operation of the X-ray transform. Each of these sinograms was obtained from a measured 120-projection fan-beam sinogram by down-sampling and taking logarithms. The original (measured) sinogram is also provided in its original form and resolution. In addition, a larger set of 1200 projections of the same walnut was measured and a high-resolution filtered back-projection reconstruction was computed from this data; both the sinogram and the FBP reconstruction are included in the data set, the latter serving as a ground truth reconstruction.
