Astronomy Python - Mars Planet Surface - Creating Sharpen Image from Blur Image

Image
   In Astronomy, sometimes the images send by satellite/telescope could be Blur and one would be interested to make the image Sharpe. The Kernel (it is matrix representation) is to process the image -from Blur image to Sharpe Image. Convolution Matrix, Mask, Matrix/Array are the other names given to the Kernel.                           Below is the example of Mars Surface Blur Image Image Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech Below is the processed image which has now become  Sharpe Image   Please  open both images to see the effect.7 Below is the python code used. ****************************************************************** # load the required packages import cv2 import numpy as np # load the image into system memory image = cv2.imread('E:\\astronomy_related\\blurr_to_clear_image\\marssurface_blurr.jpg', flags=cv2.IMREAD_COLOR) # display the blurr image to the screen cv2.imshow('Mars Surface blurr...
