We study the problem of deconvolution for light-sheet microscopy, where the data is corrupted by spatially varying blur and a combination of Poisson and Gaussian noise. The spatial variation of the point spread function (PSF) of a…

The central limit theorem suggests Gaussian convolution as a generic blur model for images. Since Gaussian convolution is equivalent to homogeneous diffusion filtering, one way to deblur such images is to diffuse them backwards in time.…
