Artificially sparsify images

Ad-hoc steps!

• To avoid “no-blur” solution:

• Artificial sharpening • Remove spikes • Adjusting priors on the fly • Hierarchical approach

Bayesian Paradigm

a posteriori distribution unknown

likelihood given by our problem

a priori distribution our prior knowledge

Blind deconvolution with MAP

21 CMP 2017

Bayesian Paradigm revisited

• Marginalize the posterior

• Maximize the marginalized prob.

• Then maximize the posterior

How to marginalize?

• If Gaussian distributions analytic solution exists in the form of Gaussian distribution

• If not (our case) approximation • Laplace approximation • Factorization with Variational Bayes

CMP 2017 24

Variational Bayes

• Factorization of the posterior

and then marginalization is trivial. • Every factor q depends on moments of other

variables => must be solved iteratively.

Approximation of SV Blur

• Patch-wise convolution • General SV PSF • Locally convolution may not hold

• Parametric model (Blur Basis) • More accurate • Model may not hold

• Conversion to space-invariant • HW design

• Local object motion • Segmentation • Line blur

Rotating FMOs

• Simple convolution

replaced by space-variant convolution is a function of trajectory and angular velocity is a 3D object (sphere) • Gradient descent w.r.t • Exhaustive search w.r.t angular velocity

Input video frame Estimated high-speed video

Limitations • Poor collaboration between tracking and restoration

• Estimated blur and FMO appearance improve tracking

• Unstable FMO appearance estimation • Combine multiple video frames

• Track multiple FMOs

• Start with an overestimated noise level and slowly decrease it to the correct level.

• Start with p<<1 and slowly increase it to p=1. CMP 2017
