We first show how to construct the linear operator equations corresponding to Tikhonov regularization problems for solving image deblurring problems with nearly separable point spread functions. We next propose a Kronecker product preconditioner which is suitable for the global PCG method. Lastly, we provide numerical experiments of the global PCG method with the Kronecker product preconditioner for several image deblurring problems to evaluate its effectiveness.

This paper proposes a new robust motion deblurring filter using the inertial sensor measurements for strapdown image IR applications. With taking the PSF measurement error into account, the motion blurred image is modeled by the linear uncertain state space equation with the noise corrupted measurement matrix and the stochastic parameter uncertainty. This motivates us to solve the motion deblurring problem based on the recently developed robust least squares estimation theory. In order to suppress the ringing effect on the deblurred image, the robust least squares estimator is slightly modified by adoping the ridge-regression concept. Through the computer simulations using the actual IR scenes, it is demonstrated that the proposed algorithm shows superior and reliable motion deblurring performance even in the presence of time-varying motion artifact.

We first provide how to apply the global preconditioned conjugate gradient ($G{\ell}-PCG$) method with Kronecker product preconditioners to image deblurring problems with nearly separable point spread functions. We next provide a coarse-grained parallel image deblurring algorithm using the $G{\ell}-PCG$. Lastly, we provide numerical experiments for image deblurring problems to evaluate the effectiveness of the $G{\ell}-PCG$ with Kronecker product preconditioner by comparing its performance with those of the $G{\ell}-CG$, CGLS and preconditioned CGLS (PCGLS) methods.

In this paper, an adaptive iterative algorithm is proposed for motion deblurring by using the salient intensity prior. Based on the observation that the salient intensity of the clear image is sparse, and the salient intensity of the blurred image is less sparse during the image blurring process. The salient intensity prior is proposed to enforce the sparsity of the distribution of the saliency in the latent image, which guides the blind deblurring in various scenarios. Furthermore, an adaptive iteration strategy is proposed to adjust the number of iterations by evaluating the performance of the latent image and the similarity of the estimated blur kernel. The negative influence of overabundant iterations in each scale is effectively restrained in this way. Experiments on publicly available image deblurring datasets demonstrate that the proposed algorithm achieves state-of-the-art deblurring results with small computational costs.

Dynamic scene deblurring is a complex computer vision problem owing to its difficulty to model mathematically. In this paper, we present a novel approach for image deblurring with the help of the sharp reference image, which utilizes the reference image for high-quality and high-frequency detail results. To better utilize the clear reference image, we develop an encoder-decoder network and two novel modules are designed to guide the network for better image restoration. The proposed Reference Extraction and Aggregation Module can effectively establish the correspondence between blurry image and reference image and explore the most relevant features for better blur removal and the proposed Spatial Feature Fusion Module enables the encoder to perceive blur information at different spatial scales. In the final, the multi-scale feature maps from the encoder and cascaded Reference Extraction and Aggregation Modules are integrated into the decoder for a global fusion and representation. Extensive quantitative and qualitative experimental results from the different benchmarks show the effectiveness of our proposed method.

In this paper, we propose a machine learning method for random noise removal in image deblurring. The proposed method uses a logistic regression to select reliable data to use them, and, at the same time, to exclude data, which seem to be corrupted by random noise, in the deblurring process. The proposed method uses commonly available images as training data. Simulation results show an improved performance of the proposed method, as compared with the median filtering based reliable data selection method.

A two dimensional version of LSQR iterative algorithm which takes advantages of working solely with the 2-dimensional arrays is developed and applied to the image deblurring problem. The efficiency of the method comparing to the Fourier-based LSQR method and the 2-D version CGLS algorithm methods proposed by Hanson ([4]) is analyzed.

We propose an efficient method for single image motion deblurring using edge prediction. Previous methods for motion deblurring from a single image have been based on total variation or natural image statistics. In contrast, our method predicts sharp edges by applying bilateral and shock filters and manipulating image gradients directly, and estimates motion blur using the predicted sharp edges. Sharp edge prediction makes our method possible to deblur efficiently with less computation. Results show that our method can effectively and efficiently restore images degraded by large complex motion blur.

This paper presents a fast multiple-image-based deblurring method that decreases the computation loads in the image deblurring, enhancing the sharpness of the textures or edges of the restored images. First, two blurred images with some blurring artifacts and one noisy image including severe noises are consecutively captured under a relatively long and short exposures, respectively. To improve the processing speeds, the captured multiple images are downsampled at the ratio of two, and then a way of estimating the point spread function(PSF) based on the image or edge patches extracted from the whole images, is introduced. The method enables to effectively reduce the computation time taken in the PSF prediction. Next, the texture-enhanced image deblurring method of supplementing the ability of the texture representation degraded by the downsampling of the input images, is developed and then applied. Finally, to get the same image size as the original input images, an upsampling method of utilizing the sharp edges of the captured noisy image is applied. By using the proposed method, the processing times taken in the image deblurring, which is the main obstacle of its application to the digital cameras, can be shortened, while recovering the fine details of the textures or edge components.

Image blurring is a phenomenon that occurs due to factors such as movement of a subject and shaking of a camera. Recently, the research for image deblurring has been actively conducted based on convolution neural networks. In particular, the method of guiding the restoration process via the difference between blur and sharp images has shown the promising performance. This paper proposes a novel method for improving the deblurring performance based on the distortion information. To this end, the transformer-based neural network module is designed to guide the restoration process. The proposed method efficiently reflects the distorted region, which is predicted through the global inference during the deblurring process. We demonstrate the efficiency and robustness of the proposed module based on experimental results with various deblurring architectures and benchmark datasets.
