Case Study: Lockheed Martin sharpens satellite imagery with Wolfram Mathematica

Lockheed Martin rewrites satellite image cleanup code 20:1 with Wolfram

Wolfram helped Lockheed Martin address a challenge with distorted images from a low-orbiting satellite. The satellite's sweeping motion caused jagged edges in its valuable photos, such as images of runways, which needed to be cleaned up.

Using Mathematica's pattern-matching and rapid prototyping capabilities, an engineer was able to rewrite old Fortran code in 20:1 fewer lines. This solution from Wolfram successfully removed the distortions from the images and provided a significant time-saver for the project.
