Overcoming this Problem
Adaptive Optics Image Restoration
Prior Information Point Spread Function (PSF)
![Page 6: Improved Imaging of Near Earth Objects Using Better Telescope Specifications](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062521/56816843550346895dde17d4/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Uses multiple frames to estimate the PSF and the object
Multi-Frame Blind Deconvolution
