چکیده

In this report, we are interested in blind restoration of optical images that are degraded by a space-variant (SV) blur and corrupted with Poisson noise. For example, blur variation is due to refractive index mismatch in three dimensional fluorescence microscopy or due to atmospheric turbulence in astrophysical images. In our work, the SV Point Spread Function (PSF) is approximated by a convex combination of a set of space-invariant (SI) blurring functions. The problem is thus reduced to the estimation of the set of SI PSFs and the true image. For that, we rely on a Joint Maximum A Posteriori (JMAP) approach where the image and the PSFs are jointly estimated by minimizing a given criterion including l1 and l2 norms for regularizing the image and the PSFs. Our contribution is to provide a functional for the SV blind restoration problem allowing to simultaneously estimate the PSFs and the image. We show the existence of a minimizer of such a functional in the continuous setting. We describe an algorithm based on an alternate minimization scheme using a fast scaled gradient projection (SGP) algorithm. The efficiency of the proposed method is shown on simulated and real images.

Par exemple, la variation du flou est due au changement des indices de réfraction dans la microscopie à fluorescence tridimensionnel ou due à la turbulence atmosphérique dans les images astrophysiques. Dans notre travail, la fonction d’étalement de point SV ("Space Variant Point Spread Function (SV PSF)" en anglais) est approchée par une combinaison convexe d’un ensemble fonctions de flou spatialement invariants (SI). Le problème se réduit alors à l’estimation de l’ensemble de ces fonctions ainsi que l’image nette. Pour ce faire, nous nous appuyons sur une approche par Maximum A Posteriori Joint (MAPJ) où l’image et les PSFs sont estimées conjointement par minimisation d’un critère donné contenant les normes l1 et l2 pour régulariser l’image et les PSFs. Notre contribution consiste à fournir une fonctionnelle pour la restauration aveugle SV permettant d’estimer simultanément les PSFs et l’image. Nous montrons l’existence d’un minimiseur d’une telle fonctionnelle dans un cadre continu. Nous décrivons ensuite un algorithme basé sur un schéma de minimisation alternée, chaque problème de minimisation élémentaire est résolu par une méthode rapide de gradient projeté. L’efficacité de la méthode proposée est montrée sur des images simulées et réelles.

Image Restoration by Variable Splitting based on Total Variant Regularizer

The aim of image restoration is to obtain a higher quality desired image from a degraded image. In this strategy, an image inpainting method fills the degraded or lost area of the image by appropriate information. This is performed in such a way so that the obtained image is undistinguishable for a casual person who is unfamiliar with the original image. In this paper, different images are degr...

PSO-Optimized Blind Image Deconvolution for Improved Detectability in Poor Visual Conditions

Abstract: Image restoration is a critical step in many vision applications. Due to the poor quality of Passive Millimeter Wave (PMMW) images, especially in marine and underwater environment, developing strong algorithms for the restoration of these images is of primary importance. In addition, little information about image degradation process, which is referred to as Point Spread Function (PSF...

New Adaptive Iterative Image Restoration Algorithm

It has been shown in literature that adaptive regularized image restoration is superior to non-adaptive one. However, the adaptivity introduced in most proposed iterative algorithms is based only on the application of space-variant smoothing operator. It is found that these adaptive algorithms su er from insu cient smoothing of the at image regions. In this paper, an adaptive iterative image re...

An attractor space approach to blind image deconvolution

In this paper, we present a new approach to adaptive blind image deconvolution based on computational reinforced learning in attractor-embedded solution space. A new subspace optimization technique is developed to restore the image and identify the blur. Conjugate gradient optimization is employed to provide an adaptive image restoration while a new evolutionary scheme is devised to generate th...

Recent Progress in Image Deblurring

This paper comprehensively reviews the recent development of image deblurring, including nonblind/blind, spatially invariant/variant deblurring techniques. Indeed, these techniques share the same objective of inferring a latent sharp image from one or several corresponding blurry images, while the blind deblurring techniques are also required to derive an accurate blur kernel. Considering the c...
