This paper proposes an improved blind deconvolution algorithm, which adopts maximum likelihood method to find the most similar estimation of the PSF and object with Poisson-based probability model. The algorithm integrates Cauchy probability distribution model into the estimation of the PSF under the condition of low SNR, uses the characteristic of short-exposure image sequence that the adjacent images have similar PSF to get restored image with frames as few as possible. The experimental results show that this method is robust with high ability of resisting noise in the restoration of turbulence-degraded images.
