ABSTRACT:
Methods and apparatus are disclosed for digital image restoration. The method including the steps of receiving an external deteriorated image, and generating N restoration images by using a preset PSF and an image restoration filter without computing a PSF of the input deteriorated image, dividing the restoration images into window parts of a predetermined window size, computing absolute values of differences among peripheral pixels within the divided window parts, selecting only a high frequency part, and analyzing focus deterioration; determining weights of the N restoration images, selecting window parts having high weights, and integrating the selected window parts into one image and comparing a degree of restoration of the integrated image with a preset degree of restoration, and outputting the integrated image as a resultant image when the degree of restoration of the integrated image is higher than the preset degree of restoration.
