Nonparametric two-dimensional point spread function estimation for biomedical imaging.
The problem of identifying optical system point spread functions (PSFs) arises frequently in the area of image processing and restoration. The paper presents a method for determining two-dimensional PSFs from input/output image signals. The PSF of the system is determined from a set of linear equations involving elements of the input autocorrelation function and the input/output cross-correlation function. The resulting PSF is the one that minimises the sum of squares difference between the actual output image and the predicted one.
