Abstract:The heat equation can be used to model the diffusion process shown in a defocused (blurry) region of a picture taken with conventional camera lens. The original focused image can be recovered by reverting the heat equation, that is, by reverse diffusion. However, the main difficulty with this technique is that it becomes unstable very quickly due to the finite precision of pixel values and the image values blow up. For that reason, detecting the exact time when the reverse diffusion process should stop is cruc… Show more
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.
