Abstract

A deblurred digital image is generated from a blurred digital image. The blurred digital image is received. The blurred digital image has a number of objects and a number of edges. Each edge demarcates boundaries of two of the objects. One or more selected edges within the blurred digital image are identified. The selected edges are blurry within the blurred digital image but were originally sharp edges. A blur kernel is determined based on the identified selected edges. The blur kernel denotes how the blurred digital image is blurry. The blur kernel is applied to the blurred digital image to generate the deblurred digital image. The deblurred digital image is output.
