Restoration of defocused images using quasi-point sources which are detected with coherent light

摘要

In this work, the concept of quasi-point source (qps) is used for the restoration of defocused images of extended objects detected with incoherent light. The method consists of the characterization of the optical system by a qps illuminated with coherent light, its defocused image is then introduced in the restoration process, which is a deconvolution performed with a Wiener filter. The results of the restored images are shown and compared with those images restored when the qps is illuminated with incoherent light. Finally, a numerical evaluation using the RMSD (root mean square deviation method) about the quality of the restoration was made for both cases.
