Abstract

Motion artifacts in image reconstruction problems can be reduced by performing image motion estimation and image reconstruction jointly using a penalized-likelihood cost function. However, updating the motion parameters by conventional gradient-based iterations can be computationally demanding due to the system model required in inverse problems. This paper describes an optimization transfer approach that leads to minimization steps for the motion parameters that have comparable complexity to those needed in image registration problems. This approach can simplify the implementation of motion-compensated image reconstruction (MCIR) methods when the motion parameters are estimated jointly with the reconstructed image.
