Free public beta until December 4, 2026: every course is open, no card needed. After that, the first chapter of each course stays free and full access is a one-time $39 ($19 for up to 100 founding members chosen for helpful feedback). Your progress is kept. How the beta works

inverse filtering

Dividing the degraded spectrum by the PSF's own frequency response to estimate the clean image.

Inverse filtering estimates \hat F(u,v) = G(u,v)/H(u,v), exact when noise is absent but unstable in general: \hat F(u,v) = F(u,v) + N(u,v)/H(u,v), so any frequency where H(u,v) is small or zero has its noise term amplified without bound (or left undefined at an exact zero) -- the motivation for Wiener filtering's stabilized alternative.
