New Tikhonov Regularization for Blind Image Restoration

Blind image restoration is a challenging problem with unknown blurring kernel. In this paper, we propose a new algorithm based on a new Tikhonov regularization term, which combines three techniques including the split Bregman technique, fast Fourier transform and spectral decomposition technology to accelerate the computation process. Numerical results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm is simple, fast and effective for blind image restoration.
