Publication number: 20210116705Abstract: An aberration correction method and apparatus. The apparatus includes at least one processor, and an input/output unit configured to receive an captured image, wherein the processor is configured to initialize a first matrix or a second matrix by reducing a matrix of a point spread function (PSF) of a lens included in a capturing device used to capture the captured image, iteratively perform an aberration removal and a noise removal based on the captured image and the first matrix or the second matrix, and output a final original image as a result of the iteratively performing. Here, the first matrix is a matrix obtained by reducing the number of indices indicating light arrival points of the matrix of the PSF, and the second matrix is a matrix obtained by reducing the number of indices corresponding to light arrival points of a transposed matrix of the PSF.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 2, 2020Publication date: April 22, 2021Applicants: SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS CO., LTD., SEOUL NATIONAL UNIVERSITY (SNU) R&DB FOUNDATIONInventors: DEOKYOUNG KANG, Myung Joo KANG, Yang Ho CHO, Seung Won JEONG, Jin Je PARK
