this part:

"you cannot make something appear in the image that is not in the datastream."

in fact, one of the problems is the 'creation' or 'finding' of artifacts -- they are generated from the data - sure

but they are not real

this is common to all image analysis systems, biological ones too (esp. since some image construction is based on what we know about how vertebrates & in-verts. process visual inputs)


a simpler approach that will generate higher res. is to time average over images -- assuming the object is stationary or can be tracked in the image, you can remove some of the issues arising from heat waves, Johnson & other noise n the sensor, & etc.

I am not claiming magic here of course.
