Implement General separable footprint projectors #310

Open AnderBiguri opened 3 years ago

AnderBiguri commented 3 years ago

Related #121

Tim Pfeiffer at Fully3D presented a general Separable Footprint projection (Poster 03-02 - Two extensions of the separable footprint forward projector).

I believe this are still not applicable to all geometry, but it could be interesting to have it implemented.

Its probably at https://gitlab.com/tpfeiffe/ctl. I believe its MIT, which shoudl be compatible with BSD, but I'd need to double check.

Hey! All projectors in LEAP use separable footprint. Check it out.

AnderBiguri commented 7 months ago

heya @stephoog. Thanks for your evangelism about LEAP, but TIGRE issues is really are not a good place to drive users to your software. I suspect you'd also find it a bit annoying if I would go to your github repo to highlight how TIGRE can do things that LEAP can't.

On top of that, TIGRE is open source and fully free, and since 10 years ago, people keep adding new features. This issue, for example, opened by the main developer (me) is to keep track of nice cool features we can add to TIGRE. Saying some other tool has it, and not adding them to TIGRE is quite off topic.

I will welcome your PRs with the new additions, otherwise please refrain from just saying "you can do this somewhere else" in feature requests and questions about TIGRE.

I am so sorry. I meant no harm! I did not realize that this was a post about future improvements. It's hard finding solutions to research problems and I thought I was just helping people find good resources.

I did not develop LEAP. The developer of LEAP has been really nice to me and implements some stuff for me. I asked how I could help and they said "tell your colleague about LEAP".

Please accept my apology. You can delete my posts if you want.

Heya @stephoog , absolutely no worries, the comments where a tiny bit spammy at some points and in the internet is hard to distinguish a bad actor from a nice person sometimes. Thanks for the comments, in some places they were appropiate, but I didn't know if I was dealing with some spam, or an excited user, so I acted assuming worst case scenario.

All is good, don't worry :)
