OUR RESULTS

In order to make a comprehensive comparison and evaluation of the quality of JWST images the same image processing method was also used on images from Hubble Space Telescope. Below are images from both JWST and HST that we have processed through out our project.

Besides that we also manage to produce a combined filter set from the throughput data of JWST and HST and with that comprehensive filter set a new set of color wheel is then mapped onto it thus producing a different final image. These images are also showcased below. You can learn more regarding this combined filter set by contacting us.
