Abstract
A method and apparatus for reducing blur in an image generated by an imaging system is provided. A blur model for the image is identified with respect to an exposure time for the image using a sequence of reference images of an artificial reference point object generated during the exposure time for the image. A source of the artificial reference point object is inertially stabilized over the exposure time. The image is deconvolved with the blur model identified for the image to form a modified image having a desired reduction in blur relative to the image generated by the imaging system.
