Ah yes the stuff they used to enhance the moon landing pictures. Einstein was
involved in the maths originally.
There is nothing new in computing apart from those who haven't read the work
done before them.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Um, no. There are a number of reasons why a
perfect restoration is impossible, some of
them in the underlying physics, optics and
electronics, others in the digitization of
an image. The 8-bit nature and relatively
high noise level of most digital images sets
a hard limit to the quality of a restoration.
You simply can't do much better than this.
The results are good, and I'm sure some
further improvement is possible, but this
is not magic. It's math.

| I'll take a substantial wager that like many others
I've seen, it's also
not clean portable code and will take a major
rewrite to get running on Mac or
Linux.
Sorry, you just lost your wager! If you visit the site of the
author Vladimir Yuzhikov, you will find it says "Written on C++ using Qt 4.8
[...] All source files are under the GPL v3 license." In case you did not
know, Qt is a library that helps make GUI applications portable. So there is a
good change of a Linux port, either by the author or someone else.

HO HUM. Actually, like in real life, CSI usually deals with in-focus images, not
blurred by motion. Their sin, along with nearly every Hollywood production, is
the creation of information NOT IN the original. In real life, pixels per unit
area of subject is the determining factor. If the information isn't there, no
magic software can create it.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

I just had to install QT4-Creator (using Mageia 2 on x86_64) and tweak the fftw
library reference to point to /usr/lib64 and I am running the program now. It is
fascinating how different areas of the test blurred image respond to different
"Correction Strength" and blur "Radius" settings. It is
quite easy to sharpen up the large text of the car number plate so it can be
read, but a lot trickier to find the right settings for the smaller text.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
