Novel deconvolution approach to image restoration

A small deconvolution kernel for image restoration has been sought based upon minimization of a target function,leading to a new restoration technique requiring considerably less computation compared to many other approaches.Regularization is achieved by introducing a multiplier that is in proportion to the average energy ofthe additive noisecontained in the degraded image. The average noise energy may be estimated from the observed degraded image.Experimental results are given to show performance ofthe proposed method.Keyword: image restoration, deconvolution, regularization.
