Adaptive regularized multichannel Blind deconvolution using alternating minimization
Soniya James, Vivek Maik, Joonki Paik · 2015
Multichannel blind deconvolution is an ill posed problem where regularizers plays an important role. Adaptive regularization is used to obtain better quality restored image. This adds penalty weighted term along with image regularizer. The Isotropic TV image regularizers have chosen along with directional priors which preserves the over smoothing of the edges when compare to horizontal and vertical priors, thereby improving the Peak Signal to Noise Ratio(PSNR) of the reconstructed image. The Blind deconvolution problem can be solved using Alternating minimization algorithm as it is best suited for two unknown variables. The formulation of blind deconvolution can be l1regularized optimization and geometry can be l2. It results in hard optimization problem. The minimization step alternates between two sub optimization problems and this can be solve efficiently using Augmented Lagrangian method(ALM), where each iteration undergoes Bregman variable splitting or iterative method. This converted unconstrained problem in to constrained. This method can be applicable to medical images such as X Ray in order to reduce the amount of rays penetrating in to the body and to observe more details.
