Sharpniq is an AI-powered tool that unblurs images using either browser-based processing or optional cloud processing. It improves visible edges and local contrast in soft-focus photos while acknowledging that severely blurred or missing details cannot be recovered.
An exploration of image dithering techniques implemented in R, using a portrait of Horatio Nelson as an example. The article demonstrates how dithering—adding noise to reduce color resolution—can simulate grayscale shades using only black and white pixels, a technique famously used in the video game The Return of the Obra Dinn.
Faint Light is a Rust-based plate-solving/astrometry tool that solves images 10-100x faster than nova.astrometry.net while maintaining API compatibility. It mmaps astrometry.net index files directly without C dependencies and offers features like warm-start caching, web UI, optional desktop GUI, and FITS output.
