• Abstract: Non-blind image deblurring is typically formulated as a linear least-squares problem regularized by natural priors on the corresponding sharp picture's gradients, which can be solved, for example, using a half-quadratic splitting method with Richardson fixed-point iterations for its least-squares updates and a proximal operator for the auxiliary variable updates. We propose to precondition the Richardson solver using approximate inverse filters of the (known) blur and natural image prior kernels. Using convolutions instead of a generic linear preconditioner allows extremely efficient parameter sharing across the image, and leads to significant gains in accuracy and/or speed compared to classical FFT and conjugate-gradient methods. More importantly, the proposed architecture is easily adapted to learning both the preconditioner and the proximal operator using CNN embeddings. This yields a simple and efficient algorithm for non-blind image deblurring which is fully interpretable, can be learned end to end, and whose accuracy matches or exceeds the state of the art, quite significantly, in the non-uniform case.

• Point spread function estimation for blind image deblurring problems based on framelet transform [0.0]
  The approximation of the image that has been lost due to the blurring process is an important issue in image processing. The second type of problem is more complex in terms of calculations than the first problems due to the unknown of original image and point spread function estimation. An algorithm based on coarse-to-fine iterative by $l_0-alpha l_1$ regularization and framelet transform is introduced to approximate the spread function estimation. The proposed method is investigated on different kinds of images such as text, face, natural.

We focus on convex games, solved by local agents represented by the nodes of a graph and interacting through regularization functions. This approach is appealing for solving imaging problems, as it allows the use of classical image priors within deep models that are trainable end to end.
