Motion blur is an ill-posed problem which has been addressed for a long time in digital photographing. It usually happens under the circumstance without enough surrounding light. Several methods have been proposed for this problem. However, the ringing is inevitable artifacts arising in the deconvolution stage. To suppress undesirable artifacts, regularization-based methods have been proposed, ...

Motion blur appearing in traffic sign images may lead to poor recognition results, and therefore it is of great significance to study how to deblur the images. In this paper, a novel method for deblurring traffic sign is proposed based on exemplars and several related approaches are also made. First, an exemplar dataset construction method is proposed based on multiple-size partition strategy t...

Image deblurring techniques play important roles in many image processing applications. As the blur varies spatially across the image plane, it calls for robust and effective methods to deal with the spatially-variant blur problem. In this paper, a Saliency-based Deblurring (SD) approach is proposed based on the saliency detection for salient-region segmentation and a corresponding compensate m...

Image restoration is one of the burning issues in the field of image processing. Generally, images are corrupted or damaged due to the noise present in the system or due to motion blur while capturing the image. In this paper, a problem of removing blurness in an image which is caused due to camera shake is discussed. The blur Kernel in an image is uneven. Because of this reason, every image in...

In this paper we propose a space-variant blur estimation and effective denoising/deconvolution method for combining a long exposure blurry image with a short exposure noisy one. The blur in the long exposure shot is mainly caused by camera shake or object motion, and the noise in the underexposed image is introduced by the gain factor applied to the sensor when the ISO is set to an high value. ...

PROBE (Progressive Removal of Blur Residual) is a recursive framework for blind deblurring. Using the elementary modified inverse filter at its core, PROBE’s experimental performance meets or exceeds the state of the art, both visually and quantitatively. Remarkably, PROBE lends itself to analysis that reveals its convergence properties. PROBE is motivated by recent ideas on progressive blind d...

In the world of photography and machine vision, blurry images can spell disaster. They can ruin an otherwise perfect photo or make it impossible for a computer to recognize the image or certain components of it for processing. The best way to counter this without taking another, clearer picture is to utilize deconvolution techniques to remove as much blur as possible. That is the design of this...

Segmentation and blind restoration are both classical problems, that are known to be difficult and have attracted major research efforts. This paper shows that the two problems are tightly coupled and can be successfully solved together. Mutual support of the segmentation and blind restoration processes within a joint variational framework is theoretically motivated, and validated by successful...

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) have become an interesting and active research topic for photogrammetry. Current research is based on images acquired by a UAV, which have a high ground resolution and good spectral and radiometric resolution, due to the low flight altitudes combined with a high resolution camera. UAV image flights are also cost efficient and have become attractive for many applic...
