Research progress on adaptive optical image post reconstruction

In order to further improve the imaging quality of the adaptive optical system, the widely used image reconstruction technologies at present, including blind deconvolution, phase diversity and speckle imaging, are extensively researched in this paper. The characteristics, application scenes and processing objects of each technology are analyzed in detail and the algorithms are improved reasonably combined with the characteristics of the adaptive optical imaging system. Experimental results of in vivo human retinal cell image and sunspots image, proved that the improved technologies can effectively increase the quality and resolution of adaptive optical images, and satisfy the needs of adaptive optics system for image post-processing.
