Mathematical Note

 

The image out of focus is thought to be deformed from original image by some linear transformation. This transformation is easily expressed in the form of matrix based on the geometrical optics. The problem is to get its inverse transformation. Usual convolution method for sharpening gives the approximate solution as iteration method for linear equation. However the iteration by this method doesn't have convergence because the matrix representing the transformation doesn't satisfy the convergence conditions (i.e. superior diagonal, etc.) The method used in this software can get convergence without satisfying the above conditions as dispersing the variance among the points surrounding the center point as illustrated in previous webpage. Namely it can make every eigenvalues less than 1.
