Abstract

Restoration of velocity-degraded images owing to phosphor persistence may be achieved by using a Fourier transform filter setup. However, such a system suffers from very stringent alignment and filter fabrication requirements and is therefore less amenable to a real-time restoration scheme. In this work a joint Fourier transform setup is used to perform real-time adaptive restoration on images degraded owing to relative motion and phosphor persistence.
