Abstract

This paper proposes the regularized constrained iterative image restoration algorithms which apply new space-adaptive methods to degraded image signals, and analyzes the convergence condition of the proposed algorithm. First, we introduce space-adaptive regularization operators which change according to edge characteristics of local images in order to effectively prevent the restored edges and boundaries from reblurring. And, pseudo projection operator is used to reduce the ringing artifact which results from extensive amplification of noise components in the restoration process. The analysed algorithm is stable convergent to the fixed point. According to the experimental results for various signal-to-noise ratios(SNR) and blur models, the proposed algorithms other methods and is robust to noise effects and edge reblurring by regularization especially.
