  • Method and device for recovering a digital image from a sequence of observed digital images
    Patent number: 10032254
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for recovering a digital image (x) from a sequence of observed digital images (y1, . . . , yT), includes: obtaining an observed digital image (yt); estimating a point spread function (ft) based on the observed image (yt); estimating the recovered digital image (x), based on the estimated point spread function (ft) and the observed image (yt); and repeating the above steps. In order to correct optical aberrations of a lens, a point spread function of the lens may be used.
