High-resolution image recovery from image-plane arrays, using convex projections.
We consider the problem of reconstructing remotely obtained images from image-plane detector arrays. Although the individual detectors may be larger than the blur spot of the imaging optics, high-resolution reconstructions can be obtained by scanning or rotating the image with respect to the detector. As an alternative to matrix inversion or least-squares estimation [Appl. Opt. 26, 3615 (1987)], the method of convex projections is proposed. We show that readily obtained prior knowledge can be used to obtain good-quality imagery with reduced data. The effect of noise on the reconstruction process is considered.
