%---- Code to generate a low discrepency sequence for scanning angles -----
%--------------------------------------------------------------------------

% based on the code vdc.m developped by John Burkardt (http://people.sc.fsu.edu/~jburkardt/m_src/van_der_corput/van_der_corput.html)


% parameters:
%    Np: number of projections
%    Ns: number of segments in the circle partition
%    p : a prime integer used as the base
%    Nz: projection of the angle 0 each Nz projectios

Seq = [];

while length(Seq) < Np
