ABSTRACT:
An image restoration device restores images which are viewed through an optical member and stored in a data processor. Processing means associated with the data processor iteratively determine, for each point in a viewed image, a factor which minimizes noise and distortion at that point. The factor is iteratively determined through a division operation of a transform of a first function of a response function of the optical member and a transform of a second function of the response function. Preferably, the transform is a Fourier transform and the response function is the point spread function of the optical member. The processing means displays the restored image on a suitable display unit (e.g. a CRT).
