We propose a novel algorithm for image deconvolution from the geometric moments (GMs) of a degraded image by a circular or elliptical Gaussian point-spread function (PSF). In the proposed scheme, to show the invertibility of the moment equation in a closed form, we establish a relationship between the moments of the degraded image and the moments of the original image and the Gaussian PSF. The proposed inverted formula paves the way to reconstruct the original image using the Stirling numbers of the rst kind. We validate the theoretical analysis of the proposed scheme and conrm its feasibility through the comparative studies.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
