Abstract

The described implementations relate to enhancing images. One system includes a lens configured to focus an image on an image sensor. The image sensor is configured to capture the image. The model of the lens can be known to the system. The system can also include an image enhancement component configured to receive the captured image and to utilize a simulated blur kernel of the known model to produce an enhanced image.
