Abstract

Common restoration techniques use a single observed image for the processing. In this work three observed degraded images obtained from camera microscanning are utilized for image restoration. It is assumed that the degraded images contain information about an original image, multiplicative interference, and additive sensor’s noise. Using captured images a set of linear or nonlinear equations and objective function are formed. By solving the system of equations with the help of an iterative algorithm, the original image can be recovered. A fast algorithm for approximated image restoration is proposed. Computer simulations results presented and discussed.
