Abstract
Many image processing methods have been developed for clearing up a blurred image. However, they cannot
process an image that contains multiple kinds of blurs (e.g. camera shake, motion blur, out of focus, etc.), or what is called a combined blur image. Therefore, we propose a method for deblurring a combined blur image that contains two kinds of blurs, a system point spread function (PSF) and camera shakes. In addition, we take into account image enhancements, such as edge reinforcement and gamma correction, which is usually contained in images taken with consumer cameras, and that is not considered in conventional methods. The results show our method improved the deblurring performance for combined blur images..
