Scientific paper

Both video raster detectors and newly developed two-dimensional photoelectron event locators are now employed to collect data at large astronomical telescopes for diffraction limited optical imaging by a number of speckle interferometric techniques. The Knox-Thompson (1974) algorithm is among the best understood of these techniques. The image amplitude and phase integrations required for its implementation can be accomplished directly in event-coordinate space (in the extreme photon-limited case) more efficiently than in the more conventional Fourier transform space. Hardware to accomplish the integrations required for Knox-Thompson image reconstruction in real-time at the telescope, alleviating the principal data processing bottleneck in the present applications of diffraction-limited astronomical imaging, are described.
