Abstract
A method of de-smearing an image includes capturing image data from an imaging sensor and collecting motion data indicative of motion of the sensor while capturing the image data. The motion data is collected at a higher frequency than an exposure frequency at which the image data is captured. The method includes modeling motion of the sensor based on the motion data, wherein motion is modeled at the higher frequency than the exposure frequency. The method also includes modeling optical blur for the image data, modeling noise for the image data, and forming a de-smeared image as a function of the modeled motion, the modeled blur, and the modeled noise, and the image data captured from the imaging sensor.
