Richardson-Lucy Deconvolution

Module by: Cathy Huang. E-mail the author

We used the Richardson-Lucy algorithm to recover our true image that has been blurred by our point spread function. Our observed image di is the sum of our point spread function, which is the fraction of light observed at position i originating from true location j) multiplied by the pixel value uj of the true image. Photon noise is Poisson distributed, therefore the Richardson-Lucy algorithm assumes that all uj pixel values are Poisson distributed.

We can iteratively solve for the most likely uj according to the formula:

Because our masks are complicated, Richardson-Lucy will create spatial ringing since we have multiple locations in which light can be transmitted through and it does not always correctly determine the origin of that particular ray. This is why the pinhole aperture deblurred image contains no ringing artifacts because the Richardson-Lucy algorithm will correctly find the true image as the single point because that is always the maximum.

Definition of a lens

Lenses

A lens is a custom view of the content in the repository. You can think of it as a fancy kind of list that will let you see content through the eyes of organizations and people you trust.

What is in a lens?

Lens makers point to materials (modules and collections), creating a guide that includes their own comments and descriptive tags about the content.

Who can create a lens?

Any individual member, a community, or a respected organization.

What are tags? tag icon

Tags are descriptors added by lens makers to help label content, attaching a vocabulary that is meaningful in the context of the lens.
