U.S. Patent US12670563B2: Image recovery apparatus and removing aberrations in an acquired image from imperfect imaging optics

A process for removing aberrations in an acquired image from imperfect imaging optics includes: acquiring an acquired image of an object with an imperfect imaging system that includes an imperfect imaging optic, the acquired image including a plurality of pixels; producing a prior that includes an expectation of data for the object; determining a pixel-by-pixel uncertainty of the acquired image; determining a total transfer function of the acquired image from the prior and the acquired image; and determining a data vector from the total transfer function and the acquired image to remove aberrations from the acquired image.
