Patent ID: 8098303

Claim:
A method for correcting for motion blur in a motion-blurred image, the method comprising: determining parameters for a one-dimensional Optical Transfer Function (OTF) for the motion-blurred image in Fourier space by calculating a function Φ(p,q), wherein the function is based on the square of the modulus of the Fourier transform G (p,q) 2 of the motion-blurred image; determining a signal-to-noise ratio for the motion-blurred image in the Fourier space; segmenting the motion-blurred image into blocks, each block comprising a plurality of windows, each window comprising a plurality of picture elements, wherein calculating the function Φ(p,q) includes calculating Φ k ⁡ ( p , q ) = ∑ i = 1 A ⁢  G i ⁡ ( p , q )  2 for each block k, where A is the number of windows in the kth block; and correcting for motion blur based on the parameters.
