Myopic Deconvolution of Adaptive Optics Images by use of Object and Point-Spread Function Power Spectra: Comment
Applied Optics
|March 18, 2008
Abstract:
It is suggested here that the lack of total image correction that is typical in adaptive optics (AO) imaging can be attributed in part to blur derived from small-angle scatter of light by aerosols, known also as the adjacency effect, especially as it is a well-established fact that such atmospheric blur is dominant in satellite imagery and the shape of the modulation transfer function after AO correction is strikingly similar to the unique shape of the aerosol modulation transfer function. Further investigation of AO systems to confirm this would aid in and improve image restoration.

01:16Focusing of Light in the Eye
Light rays enter the eye through the cornea, a transparent dome-shaped tissue that is the eye's outermost layer. The cornea bends or refracts, light rays traveling to the pupil. The shape of the cornea determines how much of the light is bent and whether the image will be focused correctly on the retina at the back of the eye. Once the light has passed through both refraction layers, it converges into a single focal point onto a small area. This is where photoreceptors start transforming...
01:20Deconvolution
Deconvolution, also known as inverse filtering, is the process of extracting the impulse response from known input and output signals. This technique is vital in scenarios where the system's characteristics are unknown, and they must be inferred from the observable signals.
Deconvolution involves several mathematical techniques to derive the impulse response. One common approach is polynomial division. In this method, the input and output sequences are treated as coefficients of...
