Reconstruction from Non-uniform Spectral Data

Abstract We discuss the reconstruction of compactly supported piecewise-smooth functions from non-uniform samples of their Fourier transform. This problem is of relevance in applications such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We summarize two popular reconstruction methods, convolutional gridding and uniform resampling, and address the issue of non-uniform sampling density and its effect on reconstruction quality. We compare these classical reconstruction approaches with alternative methods such as spectral re-projection and methods incorporating jump information.
