A bit of imagination on the part of a measuring instrument wouldn’t be a bad thing. It could help to add data from areas where the instrument is unable to measure. However, it must do so constructively. In order to infer missing data in an astronomical measurement with more than just imagination, physicists at the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics have formulated a theory of spatial perception called information field theory. The scientists have developed a series of rules for reconstituting incomplete and noisy image data. Furthermore, they have established the various conditions under which the rules should be applied. They draw on a mathematical algorithm that particle physicists use in quantum field theory. The theory could also help to create images in the areas of medicine, geology and materials sciences.
