Nonstationary Blind Image Restoration using Variational Methods

The Variational Bayesian approach has recently been proposed to tackle the blind image restoration (BIR) problem. We consider extending the procedures to include realistic boundary modelling and non-stationary image restoration. Correctly modelling the boundaries is essential for achieving accurate blind restorations of photographic images, whilst nonstationary models allow for better adaptation to local image features, and therefore improvements in quality.
