Synchrotron-based X-ray micro-tomography systems often suffer severe ring artifacts in reconstructed images. In sinograms the artifacts appear as straight lines or stripe artifacts. These artifacts are caused by the irregular response of a detecting system giving rise to a variety of observed types of stripes: full stripes, partial stripes, fluctuating stripes, and unresponsive stripes. The use of pre-processing techniques such as distortion correction or phase retrieval blurs and enlarges these stripes. It is impossible for a single approach to remove all types of stripe artifacts. Here, we propose three techniques for tackling all of them. The proposed techniques are easy to implement; do not generate extra stripe artifacts and void-center artifacts; and give superior quality on challenging data sets and in comparison with other techniques. Implementations in Python and a challenging data set are available for download.
