The University of Latvia (LU) Institute of Solid State Physics is working on innovative methods for improving image quality in videos and pictures of the cosmos, Latvian Television reported February 25.
When taking pictures or filming video in low lighting, the quality of a picture decreases. The University of Latvia (LU) Institute of Solid State Physics is working on innovative solutions for improving image quality. In the coming years, the methods developed in Latvia may be applied to telescopes around the world.
There are currently technologies in the world that allow great improvements in the quality of pictures, but they are relatively expensive or time consuming. The Institute of Solid Physics is working on an innovative approach using adaptive optics technologies, combined with mathematical techniques that quickly eliminate distortions in the image.
As a result, new optical and math techniques have been developed to improve image quality. They also work with relatively simple and inexpensive cameras. The aim is to commercialize this whole thing. Partners abroad have already been found to be ready to start production. In the future, this method may also be used to study objects under human skin or, for example, military cameras.
