Simple installation from pypi:

pip install tfkbnufft

This package is a verly early-stage and modest adaptation to TensorFlow of the torchkbnufft package written by Matthew Muckley for PyTorch. Please cite his work appropriately if you use this package.

The computation speeds are given in seconds, for a 256x256 image with a spokelength of 512 and 405 spokes. These numbers are not to be directly compared to those of torchkbnufft, since the computation is not the same. They are just to give a sense of the time required for computation.

To obtain these numbers for your machine, run the following commands, after installing this package:

pip install scikit-image Pillow
python profile_tfkbnufft.py

These numbers were obtained with a Quadro P5000.

This is experimental currently and is WIP. Please be cautious. Currently this is tested in CI against results from NDFT, but clear mathematical backing to some aspects are still being understood for applying the chain rule.
