Main Abstract:
Numerous recent approaches attempt to remove image blur due to camera shake, either with one or multiple input images, by explicitly solving an inverse and inherently ill-posed deconvolution problem. If the photographer takes a burst of images, a modality available in virtually all modern digital cameras, we show that it is possible to combine them to get a clean sharp version. This is done without explicitly solving any blur estimation and subsequent inverse problem. The proposed algorithm is strikingly simple: it performs a weighted average in the Fourier domain, with weights depending on the Fourier spectrum magnitude. The method can be seen as a generalization of the align and average procedure, with a weighted average, motivated by hand-shake physiology and theoretically supported, taking place in the Fourier domain. The method’s rationale is that camera shake has a random nature, and therefore, each image in the burst is generally blurred differently. Experiments with real camera data, and extensive comparisons, show that the proposed Fourier burst accumulation algorithm achieves state-of-the-art results an order of magnitude faster, with simplicity for on-board implementation on camera phones. Finally, we also present experiments in real high dynamic range (HDR) scenes, showing how the method can be straightforwardly extended to HDR photography.

[1]: In blind deconvolution one aims to estimate from an input blurred image y a sharp image x and an unknown blur kernel k. Recent research shows that a key to success is to consider the overall shape of the posterior distribution p(x, k ) and not only its mode. This leads to a distinction between MAP x, k strategies which estimate the mode pair x, k and often lead to undesired results, and MAP k strategies which select the best k while marginalizing over all possible x images. The MAP k principle is significantly more robust than the MAP x, k one, yet, it involves a challenging marginalization over latent images. As a result, MAP k techniques are considered complicated, and have not been widely exploited. This paper derives a simple approximated MAP k algorithm which involves only a modest modification of common MAP x, k algorithms. We show that MAP k can, in fact, be optimized easily, with no additional computational complexity.

[2]: Blind deconvolution is the recovery of a sharp version of a blurred image when the blur kernel is unknown. Recent algorithms have afforded dramatic progress, yet many aspects of the problem remain challenging and hard to understand. The goal of this paper is to analyze and evaluate recent blind deconvolution algorithms both theoretically and experimentally. We explain the previously reported failure of the naive MAP approach by demonstrating that it mostly favors no-blur explanations. On the other hand we show that since the kernel size is often smaller than the image size a MAP estimation of the kernel alone can be well constrained and accurately recover the true blur. The plethora of recent deconvolution techniques makes an experimental evaluation on ground-truth data important. We have collected blur data with ground truth and compared recent algorithms under equal settings. Additionally, our data demonstrates that the shift-invariant blur assumption made by most algorithms is often violated.

[3]: This paper presents a fast deblurring method that produces a deblurring result from a single image of moderate size in a few seconds. We accelerate both latent image estimation and kernel estimation in an iterative deblurring process by introducing a novel prediction step and working with image derivatives rather than pixel values. In the prediction step, we use simple image processing techniques to predict strong edges from an estimated latent image, which will be solely used for kernel estimation. With this approach, a computationally efficient Gaussian prior becomes sufficient for deconvolution to estimate the latent image, as small deconvolution artifacts can be suppressed in the prediction. For kernel estimation, we formulate the optimization function using image derivatives, and accelerate the numerical process by reducing the number of Fourier transforms needed for a conjugate gradient method. We also show that the formulation results in a smaller condition number of the numerical system than the use of pixel values, which gives faster convergence. Experimental results demonstrate that our method runs an order of magnitude faster than previous work, while the deblurring quality is comparable. GPU implementation facilitates further speed-up, making our method fast enough for practical use.
Several attempt to first estimate the degradation operator and then applying a non-blind deconvolution algorithm. For instance, [3] accelerates the kernel estimation step by using fast image filters for explicitly detecting and restoring strong edges in the latent sharp image. Since the blurring kernel has typically a very small support, the kernel estimation problem is better conditioned than estimating the kernel and the sharp image together. [2] [1] , the authors concluded that it is better to first solve a maximum a posteriori estimation of the kernel than of the latent image and the kernel simultaneously. However, even in non-blind deblurring, i.e., when the blurring kernels are known, the problem is generally ill-posed, because the blur introduces zeros in the frequency domain. Thereby avoiding explicit inversion, as here proposed, becomes critical.
