Color image restoration using synthetic method

Abstract A color image restoration method is developed. The Fourier spectrum of a restored image is synthesized from the Fourier spectra of three primary color bands of a given degraded image. The synthesizing weights depend upon the evaluation of the final restored image. Two examples, the weights which minimize the mean square error and the weights which are expressed as the weighted mean proportional to the magnitude of the power spectra, are shown. This restoration method is shown to be effective especially when three primary color images strongly correlate to each other.
