Abstract

An algorithm based on nonlinear interpolative vector quantization (NLIVQ) is presented which accomplishes image restoration concurrently with image compression. The algorithm is applied to the problem of deblurring noise-free diffraction-limited images by training with a large set of blurred and original image pairs. Simulation results demonstrate a quantitative improvement in images processed by the algorithm, as measured by image peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR), as well as a significant improvement in perceived image quality. A theoretical formulation of the algorithm is presented along with a discussion of implementation, training and simulation results.
