The power of Deconvolution & Wavelets

Hi everyone!!

I just thought I'd post a before and after image of some lunar data I've been trying to massage. This will give you an idea of how much data is actually in an image and how it can be brought out.

For those that may not know the basis of deconvolution, the atmosphere acts like a filter that is placed in between us and the object we are imaging. Decon tries to determine the effect of the "filter" and back it out.

I've also done some mild Wavelet processing to this image as well just to try and bring out any more detail that might have been lurking in the image.

It's amazing what can be imaged and I hope people find this interesting/informative,

Cheers,
Mario

PS Both the Decon and Wavelets were performed in StarTools.
