Iterative color image restoration algorithms
Iterative techniques for restoring colour images are presented. These iterative algorithms have been developed for the restoration of monochromatic images. The colour images are modeled as three spatially related monochromatic images or channels. The interchannel correlation is incorporated into the iterative restoration algorithms in an indirect and in a direct way. Experimental results with simulated and real photographically blurred images are presented. Based on experiments the authors conclude that the incorporation of the interchannel correlation into the algorithms does not necessarily improve the quality of the restored images over the algorithms that ignore the interchannel correlation, but they result in considerable computation savings.<<ETX>>
