Variational Bayesian blind deconvolution using a total variation prior. Babacan, S. D., Molina, R., & Katsaggelos, A. K. IEEE Transactions on Image Processing, 18(1):12–26, IEEE, 2009.
doi  abstract   bibtex   
In this paper, we present novel algorithms for total variation (TV) based blind deconvolution and parameter estimation utilizing a variational framework. Using a hierarchical Bayesian model, the unknown image, blur, and hyperparameters for the image, blur, and noise priors are estimated simultaneously. A variational inference approach is utilized so that approximations of the posterior distributions of the unknowns are obtained, thus providing a measure of the uncertainty of the estimates. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed approaches provide higher restoration performance than non-TV-based methods without any assumptions about the unknown hyperparameters. © 2008 IEEE.
