Re: filmscanners: Re: filmscanners: New auto adjust software on it's way



There are a few software packages designed to do just this for astronomical
images.. Lucy-Richardson Deconvolution, Maximum Entropy plus a couple more
algorithms.. very cpu intensive (forget about using a Pentium 200). I have not
been impressed by the results, too much work for an incremental improvement in
image quality.. at the end I just think that its better to use a good lens,
properly focused, in the first place.. it does have a place in removing
environmental blurring effects. These algorithms were designed to improve the
images coming from the Hubble Space Telescope, before the optics were repaired
in orbit.

Here is a page with before and after results:

Perhaps I can see something like this added to scanning software.. but note that
the algorithm has to be finely tuned to the hardware.
