Abstract:
In this paper, we describe an algorithm for identifying a parametrically described blur based on kurtosis minimization. Using different choices for the parameters of the blur, the noisy blurred image is restored using Wiener filter. We use the kurtosis as a measurement of the quality of the restored image. From the set of the candidate deblurred images, the one with the minimum kurtosis is selected. The proposed technique is tested in a simulated experiment on a variety of blurs including atmospheric turbulence blurs, Gaussian blurs, and out-of-focus blurs. The proposed approach is also tested on real blurred images. Moreover, we test the performance when a wrong blur model is given. Our experiments show that the kurtosis minimization measurements match well with methods that maximize PSNR.
