PhD Qualifying Examination "A Survey of Techniques on Image Restoration: Deblurring, Denoising and Inpainting" Mr. Lu YUAN Abstract: Cameras have become more and more popular with the recent development of digital equipment and softwares. However, in some cases, we can not achieve satisfied pictures for the reason of hand-held shaking without the help of tripod, low Signal-Noise-Ratio in dim environment and unwanted foreground objects. How to recover a clean and satisfied picture is an ill-posed problem in computer vision and graphics from given such a degraded image. These techniques could be widely used to digital photography industry. Through our detailed survey, some outstanding research have recently been proposed to solve these quite difficult problems. Based on this review, we descibe several potential directions and some possible solutions for my thesis.
