    Area of Science:

    • Astronomy and Astrophysics
    • Optical Engineering
    • Image Processing

    Background:

    • Wavefront distortions in astronomical images cannot be directly measured.
    • Wavefront sensors (WFS) estimate distortions using intensity variations, but processing is computationally intensive, hindering real-time applications.
    • Existing geometric WFS methods are complex to compute.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To explore the ridgelet transform for estimating wavefront distortions from astronomical images.
    • To optimize the performance of geometric WFS by incorporating ridgelet properties.
    • To reduce the computational complexity of wavefront sensing.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized the ridgelet transform, a multi-resolutional method, to analyze wavefront distortions.
    • Extended the geometric WFS by incorporating the sparse and multi-scale geometry of ridgelets.
    • Replaced the Radon transform in the geometric WFS with the ridgelet transform for analysis.

    Main Results:

    • Ridgelet transform-based WFS achieved lower wavefront errors (root mean square error), particularly at low photon flux levels.
    • Replacing the Radon transform with the ridgelet transform significantly reduced computational complexity.
    • The sparse and multi-scale geometry of ridgelets optimized geometric WFS performance.

    Conclusions:

    • The ridgelet transform is an effective and computationally efficient method for wavefront distortion estimation in astronomical imaging.
    • This approach enhances WFS performance, especially under challenging low-light conditions.
    • The findings pave the way for improved real-time image restoration and correction in astronomy.
