Math to Crack Deep Impact Blurry Vision Problem

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the corrective-calculation dept.

starexplorer writes "NASA announced that they believe they have a solution for the Deep Impact mission's blurry vision problem: math. Although the craft will still snap blurry pictures of the Tempel-1 comet, mathmetical manipulation will help scientists clear up the images once they make their way back to Earth. A special report and viewing guide are also available at SPACE.com."

    Umm, they're called contact lenses and glasses. They distort an image which your eye antidistorts back to the original image.

    That is not math. It is digital signal processing. Math is about proofs of theorems. Digital signal processing is what the name describes ;) I hate it when they won't give credit for the field that really researches these problems.
