Wavefront sensor optimisation with ridgelets for astronomical image restoration
2017 International Conference on Image and Vision Computing New Zealand (IVCNZ)(2017)
Abstract
Specific wavefront aberrations cannot be directly measured from an image. A wavefront sensor can use intensity variations from a point source to estimate wavefront aberration. However, processing can be computationally intensive and this is a challenge for real-time image restoration. A relatively simple wavefront sensor (WFS) can be implemented using two focal plane images. Typically, measured aberration data from these sensors are used in closed-loop control, where a conjugate of the aberration using a deformable mirror (DM) is applied to the optical path for compensation. However, closed-loop adaptive optics systems are hardware intensive. On the other hand, open-loop control simplifies the overall system, but computational demands are considerably higher. In this paper, we discuss how the ridgelet method, which has a broad application in signal analysis, is used with the geometric wavefront sensor to enhance performance in an open-loop configuration.
