Hi, I wanted to try out Richardson-Lucy deconvolution on some astronomy images. Is this already available in some scientific Python package? Would it be a welcome addition for scikit-image? It seems very easy to implement looking at this description and I could give it a try. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richardson–Lucy_deconvolution Christoph

Hi Christoph, I don't know of any Python implementations, and I agree with you that it looks reasonable to implement well in the scipy stack. I'd vote in favor of adding it to scikit-image (potentially in a new "deconvolution" module), but we'll have to hear from the other devs before we make a decision. Juan.

There are implementations for microscopy images in the following Python packages: IOCBio <http://code.google.com/p/iocbio/> See also "Application of regularized Richardson�Lucy algorithm for deconvolution of confocal microscopy images" DOI: 10.1111/j.1365-2818.2011.03486.x Python-microscopy <http://code.google.com/p/python-microscopy> Christoph

This would make for a nice addition to the existing inverse filtering options (which are, frankly, pretty badly implemented). Those were some of the first pieces of code written, and could do with some love. Stéfan
