Abstract

Previously we have presented a method for selective image sharpness enhancement. Our method is based on the simultaneous nonlinear reaction-diffusion time-evolution equipped with a nonlinear diffusion term, a reaction term and an isotropic peaking term, and it can sharpen only degraded edges blurred by several causes without increasing the visibility of nuisance factors such as random noise. This paper applies our simultaneous nonlinear reaction-diffusion method to removal of image blurs due to image motion. The motion blur is not only shift-variant but also anisotropic. To adapt our simultaneous nonlinear reaction-diffusion method for motion de-blurring, we replace the isotropic Laplacian operator, included in the isotropic peaking term of our prototypal method, with the anisotropic operator considering the direction of the estimated image motion. Preliminarily experiments using artificially generated test images show that our method achieves excellent motion de-blurring.
