Dim Object Detection and Characterization Through Multi-frame Imaging
Abstract
The researcher made a breakthrough in attempts to explain theoretically peculiar behavior of adaptive-optics (AO) speckle, and subsequently developed a theory applicable to all frequently-encountered types of speckle, with or without AO, occurring on small, or large-diameter telescopes, and for small or significant optical aberrations. They continued the work on image reconstruction after AO. Where they tested and published results of accuracy of five algorithms. The results show, among other things, that the most-widely-adopted approach produces the worst results. More importantly, they developed a methodology for testing deconvolution codes for the problem of measuring relative flux ratio between space objects.
