About a year ago, I saw a NASA website which was showing some filter or
plug-in they had written that seemed to pull amazing information from
images that seems almost obscured by smoke, lack of light, over or under
exposure, etc.  They were over sharpened, from my perspective, but the
coding for the contrast balancing and ability to lift detail out of
something that looked like a nearly meaningless image was truly amazing.

I don't know if this technology is anything like what ASF came up with,
but if it is, its pretty mind-blowing stuff.
