IMAGE DEBLURRING FOR RETRIVEL OF CLEAR IMAGES
[attachment=66236]
ABSTRACT
Image blurring is the degradation of high frequency components of an image .
Deblurring is the restoration of lost details and has importance in area of medical imaging,
astronomy etc. It is used to enhance historically important photographs , to restore the old
movies and use image deblurring techniques to analyze satellite photographs and electron
microscopy images coming from scientific experiments.There are several methods are
proposed to recover the clear image from the blurred image.The existing methods solve the
problems that generated due to particular type of blur only and have some artifacts. The
combination of the particular parts of the existing algorithms may lead to a new efficient
algorithm that can solve the artifacts produced as a side effect of applied deblurring method.
INTRODUCTION
There are different kinds of image capturing techniques,but in all of them , the
image obtained is corrupted by blur and noise. Some information on the lost details will present
in the blurred image, but this information is hidden and can only be recovered if the details of the
blurring process are known. Due to various unavoidable errors in the recorded image, the
original image cannot be recovered exactly. Removal of image blur by applying a deblurring
function is considered a restoration technique.
Blur is characterized by a “kernel” or point spread function.It can be caused by
relative motion between the camera and the original scene (motion blur), or by an optical system
that is out of focus (de-focus blur) .The blur may be uniform or non uniform. When the cause of
blur is defocus or object motion ,the kernel changes across image plane .Such spatially varying
blur is difficult to analyse .The uniform blur can be easily removed compared to non uniform
blur.
There are different deblurring techniques exists. Some uses the prior information to
recover the original image (non blind deconvolution), and some didn’t (blind deconvolution).
Some method uses pair of images for image deblurring and in some methods, single image is
enough. Different algorithms are proposed to analyze the uniform and non uniform blur.Blind
deconvolution is the recocery of a sharp version of blurred image when a blur kernel is known
LITERATURE SURVEY
Conventional methods of image restoration includes inverse filtering, wiener filtering
spatial filtering etc.Direct Inverse filtering is the simplest approach to restoration[8]. This
method does not provide any provision for handling noise, so go for another technique -Wiener
filtering .This method considers both images and noises as random variables, and requires some
prior information about the un-degraded image. The power spectra of undegraded image and
noise are such informations. Spatial filtering is used for image restoration. When spatial filters
are used for image processing ,the average value of pixels from the neighborhood of blurred
portions are taken and make a patch work by using those values[8].So that images with
reduced sharp transitions in intensities will be created.Edges are characterized by sharp intensity
transitions .So spatial filter have an undesirable side effect that they blur edges
EXISTING SYSTEMS
Fast Motion Deblurring
Fast motion beblurring[2] is another method .It produces a deblurring result from a
single image of moderate size in a few seconds.In which both the blur kernel and latent image
are estimated from an input blurred image .In most cases intensive computation and much time is
needed for getting the solution. The high speed of this method is achieved by accelerating both
kernel estimation and latent image estimation steps in the iterative deblurring process. To
accelerate latent image estimation a new prediction step introduced into the process.Srong edges
are predicted from the estimated latent image in the prediction step, and that is then used for
kernel estimation. Simple image processing steps are used in the prediction step. The
combination of simple non-blind deconvolution and prediction can efficiently obtain estimated
latent image use kernel estimation. For kernel estimation an optimization function using image
derivatives are used to solve numerical system obtained from optimization function, conjugate
gradient method used. Working with image derivatives reduces the number of Fourier transform
from 12 to 2. If an image has local features, inconsistent with other regions new method may fail
to work.
CONCLUSION
Image deblurring is an area under image processing . It has importance in area of
medical Imaging, astronomy ,remote sensing ,forensic science etc. and is used to enhance
historically important photographs , to restore the old movies too. To analyse satellite
photographs and electron microscopy images coming from scientific experiments,image
deblurring have great importance. From the different methods explained above indicates that the
image deblurring is a ill-posed problem and is far from perfection.The challenging problem
associated with image deblurring is that, while image deblurring takes place in a satisfactory
manner,on the other side it will create some problems commonly known as image artifacts .The
popular image artifacts are ringing artifacts, boundary artifacts and edge artifacts. Along with the
above mentioned problem, low speed of deblurring technique is another problem and the existing
methods are not able to handle large blurs (greater than 100x100 pixel). So that it is required to
modify the existing algorithm in order to reduce the artifacts and produce an efficiently deblurred
image. For real time applications, the deblurring algorithms are to be made fast without any
artifacts. Also clear that not all the blurring causes can be simultaneously captured in an efficient
computable model. Most of the algorithms are not satisfactory in terms of stability, robustness,
uniqueness and convergence. But it is necessary to find out a suitable solution to this problem
