A robust deblurring algorithm for noisy images with just noticeable blur

摘要

This paper proposes a robust deblurring algorithm for noisy images with just noticeable blur (JNB). Natural images are usually accompanied by JNB and noise when viewed under pixel scale resolution, but are easily neglected. In this paper, we describe the JNB phenomenon and briefly analyze its causes. An image-gradient-related constrained factor is introduced in our algorithm based on the prior of image noise's low gradient distribution. Richardson-Lucy method is also adopted to reduce algorithm's time cost. For large-size cellphone images, we put forward an effective image segmentation model suitable for space-variant blur. Experiments show that our method obtains high-quality deblurring images and are competitive to state-of-the-art deblurring algorithms. (C) 2018 Elsevier GmbH. All rights reserved.
