Direct method for restoration of motion-blurred images
نویسنده
چکیده
We deal with the problem of restoration of images blurred by relative motion between the camera and the object of interest. This problem is common when the imaging system is in moving vehicles or held by human hands, and in robot vision. For correct restoration of the degraded image, it is useful to know the point-spread function (PSF) of the blurring system. We propose a straightforward method to restore motion-blurred images given only the blurred image itself. The method first identifies the PSF of the blur and then uses it to restore the blurred image. The blur identification here is based on the concept that image characteristics along the direction of motion are affected mostly by the blur and are different from the characteristics in other directions. By filtering the blurred image, we emphasize the PSF correlation properties at the expense of those of the original image. Experimental results for image restoration are presented for both synthetic and real motion blur. © 1998 Optical Society of America [S0740-3232(98)01406-9] OCIS codes: 100.3020, 100.0100, 100.2000, 100.1830.

Comparison of direct blind deconvolution methods for motion-blurred images.
Direct methods for restoration of images blurred by motion are analyzed and compared. The term direct means that the considered methods are performed in a one-step fashion without any iterative technique. The blurring point-spread function is assumed to be unknown, and therefore the image restoration process is called blind deconvolution. What is believed to be a new direct method, here called ...
متن کاملNoisy Motion-blurred Images Restoration Based on RBFN
To restore a degraded image, which has been corrupted by some kinds of noise and motion blur, a model for restoration is first presented and then an algorithm based on this model and the radial basis function network (RBFN) is proposed in this paper. In the first step of this algorithm, noise is removed by using the RBFN interpolation with variable regularization parameters. In the second step,...
متن کاملDirect recognition of motion-blurred faces
The need to recognize motion blurred faces is vital for a wide variety of security applications ranging from maritime surveillance to road traffic policing. While much of the rich theory in the analysis of motion blurred images focuses on restoration of the same, we argue that this is an unnecessary (and expensive) step for face recognition. Instead we adopt a direct approach based on the set-t...
متن کاملInitialization of iterative parametric algorithms for blind deconvolution of motion-blurred images.
Performances of iterative blind deconvolution methods for motion-blurred images are usually reduced depending on the accuracy of the required initial guess of the blur. We examine this dependency, and a two-stage restoration procedure is proposed: First we perform a direct technique with a single straight-forward process to produce a rough initial estimate of the blur, and then an iterative tec...
متن کاملRestoration of Motion Blurred Image Using Spatial Domain
In image restoration, it is nearly always assumed that the point-spread function of the degrading system, as well as the variance of the observation noise and a model of the original image, is known a priori. Since these parameters are unknown for practical images of interest, they have to be estimated from the noisy blurred images themselves. This thesis presents a maximum likelihood approach ...
