generate_basic_simulation

patato.data.generate_basic_simulation(ndet=256)

Generate a simulation of the photoacoustic time series for a given number of detectors in a circular geometry. The initial pressure distribution used is a truncated paraboloid, which has an analytical solution for the time series data. Here, we use the forward photacoustic model from the model-based reconstruction code.

Parameters:

ndet (int - Number of detectors) –

Return type:

tuple of NDArray, NDArray, NDArray
