BlurXTerminator V2.0 AI4 Release
DIGITAL IMAGE PROCESSING TUTORIALS | Pedro RE’
RC Astro BlurXTerminator 2.0 AI version 4
https://pedroreastrophotography.com/
BlurXTerminator version 2.0 and AI version 4 are now available for download (14 December 2023). This is a major update with expanded optical aberration correction and improved accuracy. The update can be obtained by the usual method in PixInsight: Resources -> Updates -> Check for Updates. BlurXTerminator 2.0 remains compatible with earlier AI versions.
AI4 was trained to correct the following aberrations alone or in any combination:
- First- and second-order coma and astigmatism
- Trefoil (common with pinched optics and in image corners with some camera lenses)
- Defocus (poor focus and/or field curvature)
- Longitudinal and lateral chromatic aberration
- Motion blur (guiding errors)
- Seeing/scatter variation per color channel
- Drizzle upsampling artifacts (2x only)
RC Astro BlurXTerminator AI3 Release (PixInsight)
DIGITAL IMAGE PROCESSING TUTORIALS | Pedro RE’
RC Astro BlurXTerminator AI3 Release
https://pedroreastrophotography.com/
BlurXTerminator is an AI-powered deconvolution tool designed specifically for astronomical images. It is available as a plug-in process module for PixInsight only. Because deconvolution inherently requires linear image data, BlurXTerminator will not be made available for general photography applications such as Photoshop.
Not all AI is created equal. AI-based sharpening tools for general photography exist, but they were not trained with astronomical images in mind. They don’t usually handle stars very well, and because they are trained as generative AI models, they have no regard for veracity and often invent detail that does not exist.
This is a beta test release of the neural network definition for BlurXTerminator that expands the range of optical aberrations to include additional coma and astigmatism profiles.
This is a beta release that may not perform well on all images. In some cases, performance may be worse than AI2 or AI1. A known issue is that it does not handle very dense star fields particularly well. Development work continues on AI3 – future releases will address these and other issues.
To test this beta release, add the following to your repository list in PixInsight:
https://www.rc-astro.com/BlurXTerminator/PixInsight-AI3-beta2
Then either restart PixInsight or run Resources -> Updates -> Check or Updates.
Once the AI3-beta2 file is downloaded and PixInsight has been restarted, open the BlurXTerminator window and click the Select AI button to choose the new AI file.
Enjoy
