A method and apparatus of aligning calibration projection data with object projection data to improve calibration corrections of the object projection data. In a first implementation, the method interpolates and upsamples both the calibration and object data, then shifts the upsampled calibration data to match a sub-view angular offset of the object data, and then performs calibration corrections before down-sampling the corrected object data. In a second implementation, the method continuously scans an object space—with the object absent (present) in the object space—to obtain calibration data (object absent) and object data (object present) both having the same sub-view angular offset. In a third implementation, the method obtains multiple scans having different sub-view angular offsets, organizes the scans into bins according to their respective sub-view angular offsets, and chooses the appropriate sub-view angular offsets bin for calibration corrections of the object data.
