We've been trying to implement the various filter designs and options in matlab code that facilitate blind deconvolution. Matlab realizes various kinds of images, including binary (B&W), grayscale, and color(rgb). Binary images are basically a matrix of ones and zeros, grayscale is a matrix of values between 0 and 255, and color is a 3- layer 3D matrix of red, green and blue intensities. These images are operated on by basic matrix commands, and also by convolution/filtering algorithms. To smooth an image, or defocus it, spread the pixel value about the pixel at 1/r^2 intensity. In reality, we have noise and nonideal blurring filters, so we have to guess at the original blurring function.
