PROGRESS REPORT #1

We are in the research phase of our project. To understand the WIENER2 command in MATLAB, we read the adaptive image procession section (9.2) of the Lim book. Also, we have copies of articles from Signal Processing Magazine which we will be basing our blind deconvolution on. The main article we are looking at is "Blind Deconvolution via Cumulant Extrema" by James A. Cadzow, from the May 1996 issue. We also looked at the article "Digital Image Restoration" by Mark Banham and Aggelos Katsaggelos, from the March 1997 issue. This article presents a history of Image restoration along with some current techniques, including wavelet domain restoration.

These sources provide some algorithms which we will be testing in MATLAB during the next week. Hopefully we will be able to find some other methods of blind deconvolution for comparison against the Cumulant Extrema method.
