Deblurring Galaxies: AI Software Aids Astronomers.

Researchers from Northwestern University and Tsinghua University have developed an AI algorithm that can deblur images taken by ground-based telescopes more accurately and quickly than traditional methods. The software produced images with up to 38.6% fewer errors than classical image processing techniques and up to 7.4% fewer errors than modern methods. The algorithm removes atmospheric blur, enabling physicists to obtain better scientific measurements. The researchers have released their code online, alongside tutorials teaching astronomers how to apply it to their own data.
