I saw a demo of this on the UK TV program ‘Tomorrows World’ a few years ago –
a bluured image of a cyclist taken against a stationary background. There is apparently software that can compare different parts of the image and apply correction to the stuff thats blurred from the known stationary material in the
image. The demo I saw was stunning… I havemt heard anything of it since..
Back in the day, I used to spend a lot of time doing software demos for trade shows and the like.
You can do some really, really stunning, amazing, unbelievable things in a software demo…by choosing your demo images very, very carefully, and setting up everything so that it’s absolutely optimal for your particular software. Real-world performance, on the other hand…not usually so impressive.
Fixing motion blur in an otherwise sharp image is a different task than fixing an image that is out of focus. With motion blur, if you have a high bit-depth image, you can do a fast Fourier transform on the image, find the parts that stand out, and apply localized correction to them–having a 16-bit-per-channel image (or higher) really helps with that. An out-of-focus, probably JPEG-compressed image from a consumer digital camera, on the other hand, is a whole ‘nother can of worms…
