The Amateur Scientist: Simple Optical Experiments in Which Spatial Filtering Removes the "Noise" from Pictures.
Walker, Jearl
Scientific American, v247 n5 p194-205 Nov 1982
Spatial filtering, based on diffraction/interference of light waves, is a technique by which unwanted information in a picture ("noise") can be separated from wanted information. A series of experiments is described in which students can create a system that functions as an optical computer to create clearer pictures. (Author/JN)
