| Research Abstract |
Various technologies for compensating the image blur caused by a camera shake or a subject motion have been developed. These conventional methods, however, do not work well when the blur width is long or the brightness is dark. In this study, we have proposed a new method that enables us to compensate clearly even the large blur. It is based on the idea that the captured image is able to have wideband components by exposing multiply to the moving subject with the brightness modulated light. To evaluate the effectiveness of our proposed method, we have carried out some experiments with LED lights for the brightness modulation and have showed the proposed method provides better performance in SNR than the conventional one with a constant brightness when the captured image involves a large blur.
Additionally, we have investigated what pixel array works advantageously to various motions of the subject. It is expected that a uniform structure is dominant near the center of the viewing field, but a log-polar structure is dominant in the peripheral, so they have same structure with the receptive field of the retina. During this discussion, we discovered a functions that has unchangeability to the Fourier transform and that is called "self-Fourier function (SFF)." As one of SFF's, we have proposed "generalized comb function (GCF)" that consists of equally spaced but proportionally expanded pulses along the transversal axis. In this study, we have presented a novel self-Fourier image (SFI) made by expanding the GCF to a two-dimensional form. Some numerical examples show that the SFI with an arbitrary kernel function can be constructed and satisfies unchangeability to the Fourier transform.
