The inherent ill-posed nature of image reconstruction problems, due to limitations in the physical acquisition process, is typically addressed by introducing a regularisation term that incorporates prior knowledge about the underlying…
Most existing non-blind restoration methods are based on the assumption that a precise degradation model is known. As the degradation process can only be partially known or inaccurately modeled, images may not be well restored. Rain streak…

Typical blur from camera shake often deviates from the standard uniform convolutional script, in part because of problematic rotations which create greater blurring away from some unknown center point. Consequently, successful blind…
Blind deconvolution is a technique to recover an original signal without knowing a convolving filter. It is naturally formulated as a minimization of a quartic objective function under some assumption. Because its differentiable part does…
In image denoising problems, one widely-adopted approach is to minimize a regularized data-fit objective function, where the data-fit term is derived from a physical image acquisition model. Typically the regularizer is selected with two…

Blind image deblurring, i.e., deblurring without knowledge of the blur kernel, is a highly ill-posed problem. The problem can be solved in two parts: i) estimate a blur kernel from the blurry image, and ii) given estimated blur kernel,…
Variational regularization models are one of the popular and efficient approaches for image restoration. The regularization functional in the model carries prior knowledge about the image to be restored. The prior knowledge, in particular…

Multichannel blind deconvolution is the problem of recovering an unknown signal $f$ and multiple unknown channels $x_i$ from their circular convolution $y_i=x_i \circledast f$ ($i=1,2,\dots,N$). We consider the case where the $x_i$'s are…
