Abstract
A system and a method for automatic restoration of isotropic degradations of a digital image, based on receiving a blurred image by an image capture assembly, automatically finding proper step edge, calculating the PSF from the step edge, and restoring the blurred image by means of a processor, and with the option to display the resorted image by means of an output assembly.

15. A method for automatic restoration of isotropic degradations of a digital image, the method comprising:
-
receiving a blurred image; finding edges in said blurred image, said edges having a plurality of edge pixels; erasing edge pixels having more than two neighbors; recognizing an angle among neighbors of each edge pixel; finding straight and long edges according to said angles; finding edge pixels with homogenous areas in both sides of the said edges, and with high contrast; selecting the most appropriate edge; selecting a few vectors of 2-D edge; constructing an ESF; using said vectors for calculating a LSF; restoring said blurred image as a resorted image; and displaying said restored image.
