Abstract: The image blur caused by motion has always been a challenging problem. The image prior information used in the classical moving image blind restoration algorithm is often too simple. The sparse theory has a good restoration effect, and it usually estimates the point spread function directly using the gradient edges of the degraded image. But the gradient edge of the degraded image contains many weak edges and pseudo edges, which can affect the estimation of the point spread function. To solve the above problems, a blind image restoration algorithm based on edge constraint and norm ratio is proposed. First, the edge of the degraded image is constrained to obtain strong edge structure of the image, which improves the accuracy of point spread function estimation. Then, the sparse penalty constraint of norm ratio is constructed for the clear image to be estimated, and the obtained strong edge information is combined with the constructed norm ratio penalty constraint to guide the restoration of point spread function. When restoring the point spread function, the coarse to fine multiscale iterative estimation of the point spread function makes the iterative maximum scale more accurate. Finally, the image is solved by non-blind deconvolution to restore it. The algorithm combines the edge information of the degraded image with the constructed norm ratio penalty constraint to guide the restoration of the point spread function. It can suppress a large number of artifacts generated in the process of image restoration. Experimental results show that the algorithm has a good effect on restoring the edge details of the image, which can get a high-quality restored image.
