Computational Methods in Advanced Imaging Sciences

Abstract

The broad objective of this project was the development of efficient computational algorithms to solve important problems in optical imaging. This provided support for the Air Force's Partnerships for Research Excellence and Transition (PRET) in Advanced Imaging Sciences, whose goal was to enhance space situational awareness capabilities. The project focused on an advanced optical image enhancement technology known as adaptive optics. Specific goals were to develop fast algorithms for wavefront reconstruction (i.e., estimation and control of wavefront aberrations in an optical system) and the modelling, simulation, and control of hardware devices used in adaptive optics.
