A direct comparison of high-speed methods for the numerical Abel transform

Abstract: The Abel transform is a mathematical operation that transforms a cylindrically symmetric three-dimensional (3D) object into its two-dimensional (2D) projection. The inverse Abel transform reconstructs the 3D object from the 2D projection. Abel transforms have wide application across numerous fields of science, especially chemical physics, astronomy, and the study of laser-plasma plumes. Consequently, many numerical methods for the Abel transform have been developed, which makes it challenging to select the ide… Show more

“…However, the absorption image corresponds to a two-dimensional projection of the cloud, and we would like to work with the three-dimensional distribution. A procedure that has been successfully used in the past to overcome this difficulty [ 5 , 6 ] consists in employing the inverse Abel transform [ 30 ], which reconstructs the three-dimensional distribution from its two-dimensional projection according to …”

“…The velocity-map image is centred and then circularised by an angular-dependent radial scaling determined by comparing adjacent radial slice intensity profiles 47 . An inverse Abel transformation of the VMI, based on the algorithm of Hansen and Law 48,49 , returns a slice image of the D electron source distribution.…”

“…Due to the extremely high frame rate used in this study, the number of files is in the thousands, and so an efficient algorithm is advantageous. A thorough investigation of the different transform algorithms is already available [19], both for sensitivity and speed, and it was found that the iterative Hansen Law method provides optimal results.
