Transcending the Cognitive Diffraction Limit: A Unified Framework for Perceptual Gain in Solar Observation - PixADair Enabled

Abstract

Following on from Beyond the Diffraction Barrier: A Computational Approach to Solar Morphology in Hydrogen Alpha, I have extended the discussion to provide a unified framework for perceptual gain in solar observation. It must be understood that there is no attempt to claim any increase in optical resolution. The data is captured strictly within the optical limit, and my PixADair imaging pipeline scales the image across a much larger digital canvas. This allows the human eye to much more easily perceive the morphology, providing a massive scaling increase in Perceptual Gain.
