Abstract

A new method of incorporating local image characteristics into blind image restoration is proposed. The local variance of the degraded image is used as a measure of spatial activity, from which individual pixel bounds are determined. A parameter defined by the user controls the degree of smoothing. The local bounds define the solution more precisely than smoothness constraints on the image (including those that are spatially-adaptive), reducing the number of possible solutions and leading to a faster rate of convergence. Experimental results demonstrate the potential of this method as an alternative/supplement to smoothing constraints in blind image restoration.
