Noise in image sensors led to the development of a whole range of denoising filters. A noisy image can become hard to recognize and often require several types of post-processing compensation circuits. This paper proposes an adaptive…

The point-spread function (PSF) of an imaging system describes the response of the system to a point source. Accurately determining the PSF enables one to correct for the combined effects of focussing and scattering within the imaging…

Images acquired with a telescope are blurred and corrupted by noise. The blurring is usually modeled by a convolution with the Point Spread Function and the noise by Additive Gaussian Noise. Recovering the observed image is an ill-posed…
