Abstract
The invention provides a method and a portable imaging device for deblurring a blurred image recorded by said device comprising; an image recording arrangement for recording image representations of the environment surrounding the device, and a motion-indicator for sensing motions of the device. The method comprises the step of: recording an image representation by using the image recording arrangement; sensing the movements of the device during said recording by using the motion-indicator; and obtaining a blur function corresponding to possible motion blur in the recorded image representation by using the sensed movements.

1-26. (canceled)
In an imaging device including an image recording arrangement and a motion indicator, a method comprising:
- recording an image using the image recording arrangement;
- sensing movement of the imaging device during the recording using the motion indicator;
- and
- obtaining a blur function corresponding to motion blur in the recorded image based on the sensed movements.
A portable imaging device comprising:
- an image recording arrangement to record an image;
- and
- a motion-indicator to sense movement of the portable imaging device during recording of the image, wherein the portable imaging device is configured to obtain a blur function corresponding to motion blur in the recorded image based on the sensed movement.
A computer program product stored on a computer usable medium including a readable program which, when the readable program is loaded in a portable imaging device including an image recording arrangement and a motion-indicator, causes the portable imaging device to:
- record an image using the image recording arrangement;
- sense movement of the portable imaging device during recording of the image using the motion-indicator;
- and
- obtain a blur function corresponding to motion blur in the recorded image based on the sensed movement.
A computer program element having a program recorded thereon, where the program includes instructions which, when the program is loaded in a portable imaging device including an image recording arrangement and a motion-indicator, cause the portable imaging device to:
- record an image using the image recording arrangement;
- sense movement of the portable imaging device during the recording using the motion-indicator;
- and
- obtain a blur function corresponding to motion blur in the recorded image using the sensed movement.
