Framelet-based blind motion deblurring from a single image

Abstract

How to recover a clear image from a single motion-blurred image has long been a challenging open problem in digital imaging. In this paper, we focus on how to recover a motion-blurred image due to camera shake. A regularization-based approach is proposed to remove motion blurring from the image by regularizing the sparsity of both the original image and the motion-blur kernel under tight wavelet frame systems. Furthermore, an adapted version of the split Bregman method is proposed to efficiently solve the resulting minimization problem. The experiments on both synthesized images and real images show that our algorithm can effectively remove complex motion blurring from natural images without requiring any prior information of the motion-blur kernel. © 2011 IEEE.
