Abstract

A method of deblurring an image by which blur can be easily and rapidly eliminated from one image and the quality of the image can be improved is provided. The method includes receiving a blurred image, an image estimation step of estimating a non-blurred image from the blurred image, a blur information estimation step of estimating blur information from the blurred image and the estimated non-blurred image, and a deblurring step of deblurring the blurred image based on the blurred image and the estimated blur information, wherein the image estimation step and the blur information estimation step are iteratively performed. Thus, blur can be rapidly and effectively eliminated from one image, thereby improving the quality of an image.
