Visual saliency-based image deblurring method

The invention relates to a visual saliency-based image deblurring method. The method is characterized in that according to a visual attention mechanism, saliency dividing is carried out on a to-be-processed image by utilizing image sharpness as a saliency condition, wherein the saliency dividing includes division of a saliency portion and a non-saliency portion; blurring kernel estimation is carried out on the non-saliency portion so as to obtain a blurring kernel K of the image; and a compensation mechanism is introduced and thus the obtained blurring kernel is applied to the whole to-be-processed image, and a ringing-free effect occurs at the edge of the saliency portion so as to obtain an image processed by deblurring. According to the method provided by the invention, as the visual attention-based saliency study, the blurred image is divided into two portions including the saliency portion and the non-saliency portion based on a saliency map; only the blurring kernel of the non-saliency portion is estimated and that is, the blurred portion of the blurred image is processed so as to maintain the clear portion. Therefore, the influence on blurred images with different blurring degrees of different portions and different blurring directions due to the same blurring kernel estimation processing can be eliminated.

Method for eliminating blocking effect in compressed video signal

The present invention relates to a method for eliminating a blocking effect in a compressed video signal signal. The method of the invention includes: the encoding step of eliminating a blocking effect by compensating the motion of a signal compressed in block unit to be transmitted; the decoding step of restoring the motion compensated video signal to the original video signal by reducing the prediction residual between the motion compensated video signal and the original video signal and the blocking effect; and the post-filtering step of performing post-filtering in a blocking elimination filter in order to eliminate a blocking effect and ring effect remained in the compensated signal. The equation for obtaining the original pixel is made simple by eliminating the remaining blocking effect and ring effect using a loop/post filter. In addition, normalization parameters can be stored in the look-up table and can be detected according to the difference between pixels adjacent to the original pixel and the size of quantizaiton, whereby the equation for restoring the compressed moving video signal, resulting in excessive smoothing, becomes simpler, and filtering control is made possible by a simple equation, thus making a high speed real time video signal processing possible.
