Abstract
A method of processing an image includes determining at least one point spread function for the image. For each point spread function, the image, or at least a portion of the image, is filtered using at least one filter based on that point spread function to generate a corresponding filtered image for each filter. If only a single point spread function is determined then a plurality of different filters are used to individually filter the image, or at least a portion of the image, to generate a plurality of different filtered images. At least one quality metric is determined for each of the filtered images. A final filtered image is selected from the filtered images based on the at least one quality metric for each of the filtered images.
