Blind deconvolution of natural images using segmentation based CMA
Pradeepa D. Samarasinghe, Rodney A. Kennedy · 2010
In this paper, we analyze the applicability of Constant Modulus Algorithm (CMA), one of the most widely used and tested blind equalization technique to blind image deconvolution. With a detailed mathematical analysis, we show that the strong correlation between the neighboring spatial locations found in natural images becomes a major constraint on the convergence of CMA. In order to overcome this constraint, we introduce a novel image pixel correlation model in relation with natural image statistics. Based on this model, a segmented blind image deconvolution through CMA is proposed. The robustness of the proposed algorithm with natural images is discussed in terms of efficiency and effectiveness.
