Abstract
This paper makes improvements on the algorithm of identifying blur support size proposed by Li Chen in blind image restoration to accommodate to the moderate/intense noise circumstance. The prior method mainly constructs a whiten filter referring to the image characteristics based on ARMA (Autoregressive Moving Average) model, and calculates the correlation of whiten filtered image with different shifts, thus gets the estimated blur size equal to the shifts at the minimum of correlation. However, this method is difficult to accurately identify blur size even with moderate additive noise. Some procedures are taken before calculating the correlation to ameliorate the estimation accuracy, including regarding edge neighborhoods as valid regions for calculating correlation in the whiten filtered image and implementing filtering to further reduce noise interference. Experimental results represent that the correlation attains its minimum when the shift distance meets certain relationship with actual blur size, thus show the improvements are valid for the case of moderate/intense contamination.
