Minimum entropy restoration of star field images
Hai-Shan Wu, Joseph Barba · IEEE Transactions on Systems Man and Cybernetics Part B (Cybernetics) · 1998
In this correspondence, we present an algorithm for restoration of star field images by incorporating both the minimum mean square error and the maximum varimax criteria. It is assumed that the point spread function of the distortion system can be well approximated by a Gaussian function. Simulated annealing (SA) is used to implement the optimization procedure. Simulation results for both Gaussian and square point spread functions with heavy additive independent white Gaussian noise are provided. Visual evaluation of the results indicate that the proposed algorithm performs better than the noncausal Wiener filtering method.
