  • Patent number: 9430817
    Abstract: Blind image deblurring with a cascade architecture is described, for example, where photographs taken on a camera phone are deblurred in a process which revises blur estimates and estimates a blur function as a combined process. In various examples the estimates of the blur function are computed using first trained machine learning predictors arranged in a cascade architecture. In various examples a revised blur estimate is calculated at each level of the cascade using a latest deblurred version of a blurred image. In some examples the revised blur estimates are calculated using second trained machine learning predictors interleaved with the first trained machine learning predictors.
