Abstract
Methods and systems for generation and use of an accelerated tomographic reconstruction preconditioner (ATRP) for accelerated iterative tomographic reconstruction are disclosed. An example method for generating an ATRP for accelerated iterative tomographic reconstruction includes accessing data for a tomography investigation of a sample and determining a trajectory of the tomography investigation of a sample. At least one toy model sample depicting a feature characteristic of the sample are accessed and at least one candidate preconditioner is selected. A first performance of each of the at least one candidate preconditioner on the one or more toy samples is determined, where the candidate preconditioners are then updated to create updated candidate preconditioners. A second performance of each of the updated candidate preconditioners on the one or more toy samples is determined determining. An ATRP is then generated based on at least the first performance and the second performance.
