In this paper, we study the problem of recovering a sharp version of a given blurry image when the blur kernel is unknown. Previous methods often introduce an image-independent regularizer (such as Gaussian or sparse priors) on the desired…

We address the problem of simultaneously recovering a sequence of point source signals from observations limited to the low-frequency end of the spectrum of their summed convolution, where the point spread functions (PSFs) are unknown. By…

In the blind deconvolution problem, we observe the convolution of an unknown filter and unknown signal and attempt to reconstruct the filter and signal. The problem seems impossible in general, since there are seemingly many more unknowns…

Defocus blur is a physical consequence of the optical sensors used in most cameras. Although it can be used as a photographic style, it is commonly viewed as an image degradation modeled as the convolution of a sharp image with a…
