Mojette Transform
The Mojette Transform is an application of discrete geometry. More specifically, it is a discrete and exact version of the Radon transform, thus a projection operator. The IRCCyN laboratory - UMR CNRS 6597 in Nantes, France has been developing it since 1994. The first characteristic of the Mojette Transform is using only additions and subtractions. The second characteristic is that the Mojette Transform is redundant, spreading the initial geometrical information into several projections. This transform uses discrete geometry in order to dispatch information onto a discrete geometrical support. This support is then projected by the Mojette operator along discrete directions. When enough projections are available, the initial information can be reconstructed. The Mojette transform has been already used in numerous applications domains: * Medical tomography * Network packet transfer * Distributed storage on disks or networks * Image fingerprinting and image cryptography schemes (Wikipedia).
