Methods and systems for capturing an image of a moving object

A system for capturing an image of a moving subject, said system comprising:

• a processor;
• a data bus coupled to the processor;
• and a computer-usable medium embodying computer code, the computer-usable medium being coupled to the data bus, the computer program code comprising instructions executable by the processor and configured for:
• providing a plurality of pre-computed invertible PSFs searchable at rates of in-capture motion;
• capturing, using a camera image sensor, a blurred image of a moving subject;
• sensing, using a motion sensing device, a rate of in-capture motion of said subject;
• estimating the rate of in-capture motion of said subject from said sensing;
• successively updating in-capture positions of the moving subject based on said estimation of in-capture motion;
• selecting, from among said plurality of pre-computed invertible PSFs, a pre-computed invertible PSFs for each motion estimate of the moving object;
• and
• modulating light hitting said camera image sensor according to at least one pre-computed invertible PSF such that said captured blurred image is invertible.
