Bandlimited reconstruction of multidimensional images from irregular samples.

We examine different sampling lattices and their respective bandlimited spaces for reconstruction of irregularly sampled multidimensional images. Considering an irregularly sampled dataset, we demonstrate that the non-tensor-product bandlimited approximations corresponding to the body-centered cubic and face-centered cubic lattices provide a more accurate reconstruction than the tensor-product bandlimited approximation associated with the commonly-used Cartesian lattice. Our practical algorithm uses multidimensional sinc functions that are tailored to these lattices and a regularization scheme that provides a variational framework for efficient implementation. Using a number of synthetic and real data sets we record improvements in the accuracy of reconstruction in a practical setting.
