Abstract

The Weighted Shift-and-Add algorithm (WSA) is an image reconstruction technique whereby diffraction limited images of astronomical objects are obtained from speckle interferometric data. This paper attempts to put the understanding of WSA on a firm mathematical basis by a statistical analysis of the algorithm. The approach follows that of the Hunt, Fright, and Bates study carried out for the Simple Shift-and-Add algorithm. The expected WSA profile is found to be linearly dependent on the square modulus complex coherence function of a speckle pattern. The last section of this paper contains a discussion of how the statistical analysis compares to the results obtained with our new Weighted Shift-and-Add procedures using cross-correlation (WSA/XC) and deconvolution (WSA/WD).
