Image restoracion using the w-slice method

Abstract

We propose the use of higher order statistics (HOS)-based methods to address the problem of image restoration. The restoration strategy is based on the fact that the phase information of the original image and its HOS are not distorted by some types of blurring. The difficulties associated with the combination of 2-D signals and their HOS are reduced by means of the Radon transform. Two methods that apply the weight-slice algorithm over the projections are developed. Simulation results illustrate the performance of the proposed methods.
