Introduction Observed images are usually degraded, i.e. the shape of a target will be distorted by the PSF. Image deconvolution is to recover the original scene from the observed degraded data. Two types of algorithms: empirical (e.g. CLEAN) and theoretical (e.g. Richardson-Lucy) IDL software was developed to do image deconvolution on XMM-Newton data Modified Richardson-Lucy algorithms and blind deconvolution algorithm were tested
Richardson-Lucy Deconvolution where where n is the number of pixels in a image.

Examples – blind deconvolution Output strongly depends on the initial inputs, i.e. observed image and PSF

Future works Apply image deconvolution on more XMM-Newton Data More tests on different PSFs (based on the outputs of blind deconvolution) Modifications on original Richardson-Lucy algorithm More functions in the IDL program
