Anti-Lamenessing Engine

The Anti-Lamenessing Engine, often just referred to as ALE, is an image processing software application written by David Hilvert, and released under a GPL license. It is used to enhance images and videos in various ways. Examples of enhancements can be noise removal, resolution enhancement, deconvolution, depth-of-field recovery and deblurring.

The techniques used in ALE are often super-resolution-related. One of the techniques that it uses is the IBP (iterated backprojection) method of Irani/Peleg. It also has 3D-reconstruction code, which can overcome a number of limitations of regular two-dimensional transformations on images. For example, it can understand that a foreground object moves more than the background in a set of images.

ALE has been developed since 2002.
