My earlier page presented a challenge. It would probably be best to read that first, if you haven't already seen it.
This page gives you some images which would let you make a start on beating the challenges.
Remember: We're trying to make a working model of a CT scanner.
There are several parts to that... and you could supply one of them, and let others supply the other parts. Have a go. If you get somewhere, get in touch (contact details below), and I'll publish what you've done here, or a link to it, if you prefer. This, by the way, is the way "real" science/ engineering is done.
I've taken a set of images which will "do" for developing the software that one path to success with this project would use.
They captured the following "challenge friendly" test target...
(I'm not going to spoon feed you here... you'll need to THINK about why things have been done the way they have! I WOULD be happy to answer questions. (Contact details below.))
That said, I hope you can understand why I think the following two are informative?...
With a set-up like that, you are pretending that you can't look down from above to see what's on the white platter. You can only "take pictures" from the side... but you take a picture, rotate the platter, take a picture, rotate the platter... over and over until the platter has revolved 360 degrees.
The more photos, the higher the resolution of the final result.
Here's a set of photos done with the sort of set-up I am advocating.
As I've said in several places, a zip of those 8 images is available, if you want to skip the first challenge.
One of the challenges was to "cut down" some raw images... if you think that will help. (From a set similar to that above))... i.e. we might need to cut the whole "scan" down to what's in the red band...
Whether we need to do this or not depends on how clever the next program is. Me? I'd cut them down and then process just the bands.
... i.e. something like...
Eventually, we need a data file with numbers representing the RGB of pixels in the band. There are several ways to skin these cats. YOU'RE doing the challenge! YOU decide how you want to go about it. What would be best? What pre-requisites will your solution entail? (Deciding these things early is usually best.)
If you found this of interest, please mention it in forums, give it a Facebook "like", or whatever. If you want more of this stuff, help!? There's not much point in me writing these things if no one feels they are of any use, is there? I'm not telepathic. Encouragement will be appreciated! Contact details below.

Unlike the clever Google search engine, this one merely looks for the words you type, so....
* Spell them properly.
* Don't bother with "How do I get rich?" That will merely return pages with "how", "do", "I"....
Please also note that I have three other sites, and that this search will not include them. They have their own search buttons.
It's both! Flat-Earth-Academy.com is something I started years ago. For a variety of reasons, I can't offer you httpS:// access there. (As you are not asked to input any information, that's moot, but it "worries" search engines.) So I'm moving to my new, all singing, and will do the httpS:// dance site, "WYWTK.com", and Flat-Earth-Academy is gradually acquiring pages there. (Well, HERE, as what you are reading is one of my "wywtk/fea" pages.)
Why "WYWTK"? It comes from "What You Want To Know".
Page has been tested for compliance with INDUSTRY (not MS-only) standards, using the free, publicly accessible validator at validator.w3.org. It passes in some important ways, but still needs work to fully meet HTML 5 expectations. (If your browser hides your history, you may have to put the page's URL into the validator by hand. Check what page the validator looked at before becoming alarmed by a "not found" or "wrong doctype".)
AND passes...
