Blind image restoration algorithm based on adaptive decision feedback equalizer

Adaptive decision feedback equalizer (ADFE) derived from transverse equalizer uses decision output signal to form a delay line, through which parts of coefficients are added together and are returned to the output. ADFE can compensate for communication channels with severe inter-symbol interference. The blur on image can be regarded as perturbation of the pixels, so in this paper a kind of ADFE is applied to 2D image restoration. There are two adaptive filers in this method, the forward filter has more flexibility to select its coefficients and is not direct inverse of blur transfer function. As a result, noise amplify will not happen. Additionally, the support of the object is determined with threshold. The experiments show that this new algorithm is robust and effectively when existing additive noise.
