Abstract
A composite frame image is an interlaced composition of two sub-image odd and even fields. Such image type is common in many imaging systems that produce video sequences. When relative motion between the camera and the scene occurs during the imaging process, two types of distortion degrade the image: the edge 'staircase effect' due to the shifted appearances of the objects in successive fields, and blur due to the scene motion during each field exposure. This paper deals with restoration of composite frame images degraded by motion. In contrast to other previous works that dealt with only uniform velocity motion, here we consider a more general case of nonlinear motion. Since conventional motion identification techniques used in other works can not be employed in the case of nonlinear motion, a new method for identification of the motion from each field is used. Results of motion identification and image restoration for various motion types are presented.
