TITLE: Bilevel Image De-Blurring Using the Viterbi Algorithm AUTHORS: C. L. Miller, B. R. Hunt, M. W. Marcellin, and M. A. Neifeld CONFERENCE: Optical Society of America Annual Meeting, Long Beach, California ABSTRACT: Deblurring has applications in many fields including medical imaging, digital communication, and optical memory. We describe a 2D Viterbi algorithm and characterize its performance in the restoration of black and white images degraded by space-variant intersymbol interference and additive white Gaussian noise. Results are presented for random images and text.
