Blind Deconvolution for Symmetric Point-spread Functions
Abstract:
Blind deconvolution is to restore a blurred image without full information of the associated point-spread function (PSF). One recent method is to formulate an equation with only the image as unknowns by eliminating the PSF because of its symmetric property. The original image is then recovered by solving the latter equation. We present a theoretical analysis for this method in this paper. After formulating the problem in terms of the Z-transforms, it is proved that the deconvolved solutions with this method are up to a constant under additional practical assumptions on the images. We also provide a preliminary numerical experiment with a practical phantom to demonstrate the feasibility of this method.

Deconvolution
Deconvolution involves several mathematical techniques to derive the impulse response. One common approach is polynomial division. In this method, the input and output sequences are treated as coefficients of...
Convolution Properties II
The width property indicates that if the durations of input signals are T1 and T2, then the width of the output response equals the sum of both durations, irrespective of the shapes of the two functions. For instance, convolving two rectangular pulses with durations of 2 seconds and 1 second results in a function with a width of 3 seconds.
The area property asserts that the area under the...
