Abstract

A new image-restoration method is proposed for a projection-type imaging system with an extended incoherent source. First, linearization of the system is carried out using the new transfer characteristic of the mutual power spectrum proposed earlier1; then the conventional linear restoration process is applied. Numerical analyses for a high-resolution x-ray imaging system are shown; these results demonstrate the effectiveness of this method.
