Murky Lenses Can Make Sharper Images, from Bill Rafter
This is a medical/physics & math article that I believe has implications for we speculators. The counterintuitive point is that viewing data through a somewhat murky filter can actually give you a better picture that viewing that data directly. Looking at data through filters is essentially what specs do when they look at moving averages, point-and-figure representations, Heiken-Ashi, data clouds or any of the numerous tools available.
I know of no other compact optical system that combines such high resolution with a field of view that large," says Mosk. He hopes to see a hybrid system that combines his resolution with Choi's speed and field of view. Ultimately, he says, the technique could improve surgeons' views of what to cut during keyhole surgery. "Light scattering may seem detrimental to imaging, but in fact a scattering system can make an almost perfect lens.
