Honestly this is the best way to learn about inverse problems and it's what made convolution click for me a few years ago.

So cool. Thanks for posting. I wish I was 1% the engineer this guy is.

A lot of the credit goes to Laura Waller, a professor at UC Berkeley who has been really innovative in this area and trains a bunch of really smart students. She has a great Optics Fun page, https://www.laurawaller.com/optics-fun/

If de-convolution works, is this just like a pinhole camera?

Yes, but it’s not flipped

Of course it must be Scotch tape, because Scotts are not particularly renowned for their ribbons...

I was wondering if it would work with Sellotape...
