Binary Star Reconstruction with Use of the Blind Deconvolution Method

Abstract The iterative blind deconvolution method and a modified auto-correlation method are applied to reconstruct a binary star from a speckle interferogram. The results of two methods are compared to evaluate reconstructed images. For successful reconstruction, a method of frame selection of speckle interferograms is also proposed. A suitable frame selection improves the efficiency of the reconstruction. Some results of the binary star reconstruction are demonstrated to show the usefulness of our method.
