Multiscale guided deblurring: Chromatic aberration correction in color and near-infrared imaging

Sabine Süsstrunk, Yue Lu, Zahra Sadeghipoor Kermani

Chromatic aberration, caused by photographic lens imperfections, results in the image of only one spectral channel being sharp, while the other channels are blurred depending on their wavelengths difference with the sharp channel. We study chromatic aberra ...
