Abstract: Input data comprising a video signal is processed using a combination of a known image processing method to deblur, or sharpen, the image and convolution with Pixon™ kernels for smoothing. The smoothing process utilizes a plurality of different size Pixon™ kernels which operate in parallel so that the input data are convolved with each different Pixon™ kernel simultaneously. The smoothed image is convolved with the point response function (PRF) to form data models that are compared against the input data, then the broadest Pixon™ kernel that fits the input data within a predetermined criterion are selected to form a Pixon™ map. The data are smoothed and assembled according to the Pixon™ map, then are deconvolved and output to a video display or other appropriate device, providing a clearer image with less noise.
