  We develop a self-consistent automatic procedure to restore informations from
astronomical observations. It relies on both a new deconvolution algorithm
called LBCA (Lower Bound Constraint Algorithm) and the use of the Wiener
filter. In order to explore its scientific potential for strong and weak
gravitational lensing, we process a CFHT image of the galaxies cluster Abell
370 which exhibits spectacular strong gravitational lensing effects. A high
quality restoration is here of particular interest to map the dark matter
within the cluster. We show that the LBCA turns out specially efficient to
reduce ringing effects introduced by classical deconvolution algorithms in
images with a high background. The method allows us to make a blind detection
of the radial arc and to recover morphological properties similar to
thoseobserved from HST data. We also show that the Wiener filter is suitable to
stop the iterative process before noise amplification, using only the
unrestored data.
