Abstract
Blind image deconvolution, i.e., estimating a blur kernel k and a latent image x from an input blurred image y, is a severely ill-posed problem. In this paper we introduce a new patch-based strategy for kernel estimation in blind deconvolution. Our approach estimates a “trusted” subset of x by imposing a patch prior specifically tailored towards modeling the appearance of image edge and corner primitives. To choose proper patch priors we examine both statistical priors learned from a natural image dataset and a simple patch prior from synthetic structures. Based on the patch priors, we iteratively recover the partial latent image x and the blur kernel k. A comprehensive evaluation shows that our approach achieves state-of-the-art results for uniformly blurred images.
