Abstract
Methods and apparatus for correcting blurred images captured by an imaging device. A method comprising recording image data and recording motion information, transmitting a portion of the image data and/or a portion of the motion information to a computer for processing. The computer may calculate an inverse filter from at least the motion information, and the computer may generate a corrected image by applying an inverse filter to the image data.
Claims21
A method implemented in an imaging device, the method comprising:
- recording image data and recording motion information, substantially simultaneously;
- and
- transmitting at least a portion of the image data and at least a portion of the motion information to a computer for processing;
- wherein the computer calculates an inverse filter from at least the motion information, and the computer generates a corrected image by applying an inverse filter to the image data.
A method implemented in an imaging device, the method comprising:
- recording image data and recording motion information, substantially simultaneously;
- transmitting the motion information without the image data to a computer for processing, wherein the computer calculates inverse filter information from the motion information;
- receiving the inverse filter information from the computer;
- and
- calculating a corrected image using the inverse filter information.
A method implemented in an imaging device, the method comprising:
- capturing and recording image data;
- transmitting at least a portion of the image data to a computer for processing, wherein the computer calculates an inverse filter from the image data, using blind estimation and the computer calculates a corrected image by applying an inverse filter to the image data;
- and
- receiving the corrected image from the computer.
