Blind Image Deconvolution using a Space-variant Neural Network Approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
A space variant neural network based on an autoregressive moving average (ARMA) process is proposed for blind image deconvolution. An extended cost function motivated by human visual perception is developed to simultaneously identify the blur and restore the image degraded by space variant non-causal blur and additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN). Since the blur affects various regions of the image differently, the image has been divided into blocks according to an assigned level of activity. This is shown to result in more effective enhancement of the textured regions while suppressing the noise in smoother backgrounds.

Semi-Blind Spatially-Variant Deconvolution in Optical Microscopy with Local Point Spread Function Estimation By Use Of Convolutional Neural Networks
We present a semi-blind, spatially-variant deconvolution technique aimed at optical microscopy that combines a local estimation step of the point spread function (PSF) and deconvolution using a spatially variant, regularized Richardson-Lucy algorithm [1]. To find the local PSF map in a computationally tractable way, we train a convolutional neural network to perform regression of an optical par...

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...
متن کاملAdaptive Image Restoration: Perception Based Neural Network Models and Algorithms
This thesis describes research into the field of image restoration. Restoration is a process by which an image suffering some form of distortion or degradation can be recovered to its original form. Two primary concepts within this field have been investigated. The first concept is the use of a Hopfield neural network to implement the constrained least square error method of image restoration. ...

Image restoration deals with recovery of a sharp image from a blurred version. This approach can be defined as blind or non-blind based on the availability of blur parameters for deconvolution. In case of blind restoration of image, blur classification is extremely desirable before application of any blur parameters identification scheme. A novel approach for blur classification is presented in...
متن کاملAn information-maximization approach to blind separation and blind deconvolution
We derive a new self-organizing learning algorithm that maximizes the information transferred in a network of nonlinear units. The algorithm does not assume any knowledge of the input distributions, and is defined here for the zero-noise limit. Under these conditions, information maximization has extra properties not found in the linear case (Linsker 1989). The nonlinearities in the transfer fu...
