Image restoration

Full article on Wiley Online Library:   HTML | PDF

True images are usually degraded during image acquisition. Image restoration is for restoring true images from their observed but degraded versions; it is often used for preprocessing observed images so that subsequent image processing and analysis become more reliable. Among many different types of degradations, point degradations (or noise) and spatial degradations (or blurring) are most common in applications. This article introduces some fundamental image denoising and image deblurring methods. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
