Untitled. Deconvolution. To increase resolution of the images, the best way is the deconvolution. Iris includes several deconvolution algorithms, for example the Richardson-Lucy algorithm, known to be used for the Hubble Space Telescope. For example, download the file BLUR1.ZIP and decompress it in your working directory. The image BLUR1.FIT. It is severely blurred! Define a small rectangle (with the mouse) just around a non-saturated and isolated star. A rectangle is defined around a high signal to noise ratio star, but it is important that this star is not saturated.
Then enter the following command (RL for Richardson-Lucy algorithm) from the console: The first parameter defines the number of iterations to be done. Finaly, suppress noise and compare with the start image... The result of Richardson-Lucy deconvolution. Important considerations: (1) It is mandatory that the image has a square size and that this size is a power of 2 (ie: 128 x 128 pixels, 256x256 pixels, 512x512 pixels, ...).

Deconvolution. In mathematics, deconvolution is an algorithm-based process used to reverse the effects of convolution on recorded data.[1] The concept of deconvolution is widely used in the techniques of signal processing and image processing.
Because these techniques are in turn widely used in many scientific and engineering disciplines, deconvolution finds many applications. In general, the object of deconvolution is to find the solution of a convolution equation of the form: Usually, h is some recorded signal, and ƒ is some signal that we wish to recover, but has been convolved with some other signal g before we recorded it. The function g might represent the transfer function of an instrument or a driving force that was applied to a physical system. If we know g, or at least know the form of g, then we can perform deterministic deconvolution. However, if we do not know g in advance, then we need to estimate it. In physical measurements, the situation is usually closer to Seismology[edit] Other. Removing camera shake from a single image. Abstract Camera shake during exposure leads to objectionable image blur and ruins many photographs. Conventional blind deconvolution methods typically assume frequency-domain constraints on images, or overly simplified parametric forms for the motion path during camera shake.
Real camera motions can follow convoluted paths, and a spatial domain prior can better maintain visually salient image characteristics. We introduce a method to remove the effects of camera shake from seriously blurred images. The method assumes a uniform camera blur over the image and negligible in-plane camera rotation.

Recover Detail and Sharpen Your Blurred Photos. Photo-deblurring Research Debuts at Siggraph Conference - Emerging Technology - News - DigitalCamerainfo.com. August 02, 2006 By Karen M. Cheung A Massachusetts Institute of Technology and University of Toronto research team debuted photo-deblurring technology at yesterday’s 33rd Annual Siggraph Conference in Boston, MA. In a seminar entitled "Removing Camera Shake from a Single Photograph," the MIT – U of Toronto research team presented an algorithm to correct high-level blurs at the world’s largest electronic and computer graphics conference today, which hosts "the best and most senior minds in technological innovation," according to Siggraph spokesperson Brian Ban.
The anti-blurring mathematical model can only correct a particular type of blur caused by hand motion. As digital cameras and camera cell phones gradually shrink in size, the model can accommodate the recent phenomena of hand motion with lightweight cameras. The camera shake is modeled as a blur kernel through a technique called deconvolution, according to the abstract, "Removing Camera Shake from a Single Photograph. " A Status on the Gimp plugin "refocus" Ernst Lippe is the author of "refocus". Here is an excerpt from the author's description. Refocus is a plug-in for the Gimp (the GNU Image Manipulation Program). This plug-in attempts to "refocus" the image, using a technique called FIR Wiener filtering. The traditional technique for sharpening images is to use unsharp masking. Refocus generally produces better results than unsharp masking.
Ernst Lippe [refocus.sourceforge.net] I saw in log files that a number people attempted to publish patches on the sourceforge site, but for some reason the patch code does not appear to be available from sourceforge. Peter Heckert has adapted the plugin to work with gimp-2.2, and it also works with gimp-2.4. As I started using the "refocus" plugin on raw files from the Powershot A620, the plugin crashed. I didn't find a way yet to update either the sourceforge site or the gimp plugin site so I resort to publish my path here. Installation of "refocus" with my patch Updates Eg-SmartSharpen Typical use. Downloading and running UnBlur for simple images - John Costella. Downloading and running UnBlur for simple images This page describes how to download and run the UnBlur program for simple images. It is presented here in a question and answer format. It is assumed that you have some technical and computer experience.
I have a Windows PC and just want to try out UnBlur quickly. The UnBlur program runs from the command line. If you are comfortable using a command prompt, then right-click quick_ub.zip, save it into a folder of your choice, and unzip the files contained within it. You now need a (sharp) test image to start with, in BMP format. You now need to create an 8-bit greyscale image that is to be your point spread function image. Put both of these files in the same folder as the files above. Blur inputfile psffile outputfile where you omit the “.bmp” from all the filenames. You can now use the UnBlur program to try to deblur this blurred image, knowing only the point spread function (not the original sharp image).

UnBlur — image deblurring software UPDATE: 12 January 2012: I have recompiled the executables in quick_ub.zip so that they run under modern versions of Windows. Thanks to Jon Edlund for pointing out that the versions compiled in 2003 no longer worked! In 1999, I happened to pick up a book in the local library documenting the photographic evidence of the JFK assassination . Looking through its pages, I realised that many of the photographs and film frames were blurred — usually because the person taking the photograph or film moved during the exposure. I was actually surprised, at first, that this had not already been done. Ideas for performing such “deblurring” swirled around in my head. By 2000, some of these ideas were itching to be tried out. I worked on these algorithms, on and off, during 2000.
I wrote the software in a fairly flexible way, to allow me to expand it in the future. This, together with other commitments, has led me to postpone any further work on the UnBlur program. Refocus-it GIMP plug-in. Refocus. Refocus Home Page. Single Image 3D Reconstruction. Researchers take the blur out of shaky photos. Researchers have unveiled an image-processing technique that shows promise for fixing images spoiled by camera shake. The technique is based on an algorithm that deduces the path that a wobbling camera took when a photo was shot, then uses that path to reverse much of the resultant blurring. The method isn't a miracle cure, but researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the University of Toronto have used it to significantly help a wide variety of sample images. One example shows a bird with black, white and rust-colored feathers, blurred to the point where its legs are barely discernable. After processing, it's possible to see not just the legs, but also a dark patch around its eyes, white patterning amid the black feathers and other details.
The technique, which takes 10 to 15 minutes for typical images, uses a statistical property that describes transitions from light to dark in the photo, Fergus said. Rob Fergus - HomePage.

Dark Flash Photography. Adobe unveils amazing 'unblur' feature for Photoshop [video] Once again, Adobe is about to change the wold of photography forever. During the company’s MAX 2011 conference, which took place last week in Los Angeles, California, Adobe gave a sneak peak of a new Photoshop filter that will allow users to unblur their shaky photographs.
The new feature, which is still in development, was revealed to the public in a YouTube video posted to Reddit.com. In the video, a presenter (whose name we cannot confirm) showcases the functionality of the unblur filter. As the presenter explains, the filter analyzes the form of the blurred photograph to figure out which direction the camera moved when the shutter was open, thus creating the out-of-focus image. An algorithm in the software then makes a highly educated guess about how the photo should look if the camera had not moved. Instantly after the filter is employed, the example photo goes from fuzzy to crystal clear, eliciting gasps and applause from the crowd. See the unblur filter in action below: Fergus_deblurring.pdf (application/pdf Object) Deblur_fergus.pdf (application/pdf Object) Researchers take the blur out of shaky photos.
Lytro: The camera that could change photography forever. Make sure to check out our full Lytro Camera review. Have you ever taken a picture that would have been great if only it were in focus? Of course you have. So have we, countless times. But those days may soon be past all of us with the introduction of Lytro, an entirely new kind of camera that allows users to completely change the focus of a picture after the shutter clicks. And, according to AllThingsD, this next-generation camera will be available before the end of the year. The secret behind the Lytro camera is a new type of sensor that gathers much more information about the light coming into the camera than the sensors found on all other types of digital cameras.
With this vast amount of data, the focus of a photo can be fully adjusted to match a photographer’s desires, using a computer, in the same way one might use Photoshop to adjusts hue, brightness or contrast on a regular photograph. Of course getting into the camera-making business isn’t a cheap endeavor. Lytro Gallery. Removing camera shake from a single image. Debluring code.
