Review and experimental comparison of speckle-tracking algorithms for X-ray phase contrast imaging by Rafael Celestre, Laurène Quénot, Christopher Ninham, Emmanuel Brun, Luca Fardin

“…In this review and experimental comparison, we focus on using X-ray near-field speckle grains as wavefront markers and numerical methods for retrieving the phase information they contain. We present the most common tracking methods, introducing the existing algorithms with their specifications and comparing their performances under various experimental conditions. …”

A Hybrid Approach for Fast Computation of Multiple Incident Angles Electromagnetic Scattering Problems with Compressive Sensing and Adaptive Cross Approximation by Guo-hua Wang, Yu-fa Sun

“…The compressive sensing (CS) technique is firstly introduced to the method of moment (MoM) to reduce the number of the right-hand sides (RHS), but since the resulting excitation matrix contains linear dependency and has low-rank characteristics, the adaptive cross approximation (ACA) algorithm is used to recompress such excitation matrix, keeping only the necessary physical information. …”
