Fig. 8From: Performance of Akatsuki/IR2 in Venus orbit: the first yearApplication of IR2 PSF to Venus images. a Demonstration of removal of contamination of the night-side disk by the intense dayside disk (2.26 μm, acquired on March 28, 2016). The procedure is described in the text. After removal of the contamination, the electrical artifacts of the IR2 image become more noticeable. b Demonstration of deconvolution (Lucy–Richardson algorithm) performed on a 2.02-μm dayside disk (June 25, 2016). The PSF in Fig. 7b is used for this restoration, and no significant artifact is noticedBack to article page
