An Optimal Region Of Interest Localization Using Edge Refinement Filter And Entropy-Based Measurement For Point Spread Function Stimation

The use of edges to determine an optimal region of interest (ROI) location is increasingly becoming popular for image deblurring. Recent studies have shown that regions with strong edges tend to produce better deblurring results. In this study, a direct method for ROI localization based on edge r...
