Title
Maximum likelihood blind image restoration via alternating minimization
Abstract
A new algorithm for Maximum likelihood blind image restoration is presented in this paper. It is obtained by modeling the original image and the additive noise as multivariate Gaussian processes with unknown covariance matrices. The blurring process is specified by its point spread function, which is also unknown. Estimations of the original image and the blur are derived by alternating minimization of the Kullback-Leibler divergence. The algorithm presents the advantage to provide closed form expressions for the parameters to be updated and to converge only after few iterations. A simulation example that illustrates the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is presented.
