“…Given the deconvolution problem h(x, y) ⊗ f (x, y) = g(x, y), with a known otf h(ξ, η) in the form of one the three types in (8), we viewĥ(ξ, η) as the Green's functionĥ(ξ, η, t) at time t = 1, in the corresponding forward evolution equation w t = −Lw, in one of (14), (15), or (16). Deconvolution is mathematically equivalent to solving w t = −Lw backwards in time, given the noisy blurred image g(x, y) as data at time t = 1.…”
