What Is the Relation Between Deblurring and Deconvolution in Computer Vision and Image Processing?
The deblurring problem can be modelled as follows
$$
f = \phi u + \epsilon, \; \epsilon \sim N(0, \sigma)
$$
where $\phi$ is a filter (e.g. a low-pass filter) and $\epsilon$ is a Gaussian noise.
In ...
