- Blind image restoration is the process of estimating both the true image and the blur from the degraded image, using only partial information about degradation sources and the imaging system. Our main interest concerns optical image enhancement, where the degradation often involves a convolution process. We provide a method to incorporate truncated eigenvalue and total variation regularization into a nonlinear recursive inverse filter (RIF) blind deconvolution scheme first proposed by Kundar, and by Kundur and Hatzinakos. Tests are reported on simulated and optical imaging problems.
