Archival HST/NICMOS-2 images of the Cloverleaf gravitational lens (H1413+117), a quadruply imaged quasar, have been analysed with a new method derived from the MCS deconvolution algorithm (Magain et al., 1998). This method is based on an…

Most distortion correction methods focus on simple forms of distortion, such as radial or linear distortions. These works undistort images either based on measurements in the presence of a calibration grid, or use multiple views to find…
