Blind Image Deblurring Based on Local Edges Selection

Abstract

The edges of images are less sparse when images become blurred. Selecting effective image edges is a vital step in image deblurring, which can help us to build image deblurring models more accurately. While global edges selection methods tend to fail in capturing dense image structures, the edges are easy to be affected by noise and blur. In this paper, we propose an image deblurring method based on local edges selection. The local edges are selected by the difference between the bright channel and the dark channel. Then a novel image deblurring model including local edges regularization term is established. The obtaining of a clear image and blurring kernel is based on alternating iterations, in which the clear image is obtained by the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM). In the experiments, tests are carried out on gray value images, synthetic color images and natural color images. Compared with other state-of-the-art blind image deblurring methods, the visualization results and performance verify the effectiveness of our method.
