  • Publication number: 20140055595
    Abstract: A method includes performing an approximate partially coherent imaging operation for elements of a first basis generated from a model image having no noise and no blur, and generating based upon the first basis a second basis that is blurred, the approximate partially coherent imaging operation being expressed by a convolution integral on an eigenfunction corresponding to a maximum eigenvalue of a Kernel matrix and each element of the first basis, generating an intermediate image in which each pixel value of the observed image that has been denoised is replaced with its square root, and obtaining a restored image by approximating each of a plurality of patches that are set to entirely cover the intermediate image, using a linear combination of elements of the first basis and linear combination coefficients obtained when each patch is approximated by a linear combination of elements of the second basis.
