This paper proposes a video deblurring algorithm which maintains uniform sharpness between frames. Unlike the previous algorithms using fixed parameters, the proposed algorithm keeps uniform sharpness by adjusting parameters for each frame. First, we estimate the initial blur kernel and perform deconvolution, then measure the sharpness of the deblurred image. In order to maintain uniform sharpness, we adjust the regularization parameter and kernel according to the examined sharpness, and perform deconvolution again. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm achieves outstanding deblurring results while providing consistent sharpness.

Undesired camera shaking can make a blur effect, which causes a degradation of video quality. We propose an efficient method of removing the blur effects on video captured from a single camera. The proposed method has a sequential process that is applied to each frame. The first stage is to estimate the camera motion for each frame. In order to estimate the camera motion, we compute the optical flow using 3 consecutive frames. Then a patch-wise image deconvolution is applied. During the deconvolution, edge prediction is used to improve the quality of image deconvolution. After patch-wise image deconvolution, deblurred patches are integrated into an image to produce a deblurred frame. The above process is performed for each frame. The experimental result shows that the proposed method removes the blur effect efficiently.

Images with high resolution are desired and often required in many visual applications. When resolution can not be improved by replacing sensors, either because of cost or hardware physical limits, super resolution image reconstruction method is what can be resorted to. Super resolution image reconstruction method refers to image processing algorithms that produce high quality and high resolution images from a set of low quality and low resolution images. The method is proved to be useful in many practical cases where multiple frames of the same scene can be obtained, including satellite imaging, video surveillance, video enhancement and restoration, digital mosaicking, and medical imaging. The method can be either the frequency domain approach or the spatial domain approach. Much of the earlier works concentrated on the frequency domain formulation, but as more general degradation models were considered, later researches had been almost exclusively on spatial domain formulations. The method in spatial domains has three stages: i) motion estimate or image registration, ii) interpolation onto high resolution grid and iii) deblurring process. The super resolution grid construction in the second stage was discussed in this paper. We applied the Maximum A­Posteriori(MAP) reconstruction method that is one of the major methods in the super resolution grid construction. Based on this method, we reconstructed high resolution images from a set of low resolution images and compared the results with those from other known interpolation methods.

본 논문에서 우리는 동영상에서 인접한 블러되지 않은 참조 프레임을 이용하여 모션 블러를 제거하는 기법을 제안한다. 기존의 디블러링 방법들은 주로 단일 영상을 이용한 방법들로 정확한 커널을 예측하는 것과 원본 영상에 준하는 영상을 복원하는 것에 한계가 존재한다. 하지만 동영상에서 부분적인 프레임에만 블러가 발생한 특수한 경우에는 인접한 위치에 존재하는 블러되지 않은 프레임을 활용하는 것이 가능하다. 제안하는 방법은 블러된 프레임과 인접한 위치에 존재하는 블러되지 않은 프레임 사이에 움직임을 추정하고, 움직임 보상된 영상을 이용하여 커널을 추정한다. 또한 움직임 오차에 따른 잔여 오차 성분에 대해서만 디컨벌루션을 적용하여 물결현상이 억제된 최종적인 결과 영상을 생성한다. 실험 결과는 제안한 방법이 기존의 디블러링 기법에 비해 에지 부분을 잘 복원시키면서 물결현상은 감소된 보다 우수한 디블러링 결과를 가져오는 것을 보여준다.
