Richardson-Lucy Co-Addition

Hook and Lucy (1992) have described a method for co-adding images with different PSFs, which is a straight forward generalization of the Richardson-Lucy image restoration method (Richardson 1972, Lucy 1974). In their scheme, a multiplicative correction factor to the current estimate for the image is computed in iteration as

where labels the input images , is the current estimate of the image convolved with the PSF for image , and is the weight of the input image.
