Automatic Blur Correction (BGN)
This technology automatically corrects images degraded by the isotropic blur evident in out-of-focus images and in those produced using long-distance imaging (atmospheric blur). Image correction is accomplished by extracting the blur function automatically from the acquired image via a direct (non-iterative) and expeditious process that produces stable output. Quality of the corrected image typically exceeds that of the existing techniques, performing especially well on images with commonly encountered step-edge features.
• Enhanced image clarity for observers
• Improved performances of surveillance algorithms
Easily incorporated into any type of imaging system (visual, IR, etc.) prone to isotropic blurring, the method is employed in the increasingly common long-distance surveillance systems prevalent in security/homeland security applications. Correctly adapted, the method is also exploitable in digital video cameras where out-of-focus filming can occur frequently.
