*** New York Inventor Develops Patent for Method and Apparatus to Correct Digital Image Blur Due to Motion of Subject or Imaging Device ALEXANDRIA, Va., April 17 -- Fatih M. Ozluturk, Port Washington, N.Y., has developed a patent (8,154,607) for a "method and apparatus to correct digital image blur due to motion of subject or imaging device." The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "Signal processing techniques are applied to digital image data to remove the distortion caused by motion of the camera, or the movement of the subject being photographed, or defective optics, or optical distortion from other sources. When the image is captured, the effect of relative motion between the camera and the subject is that it transforms the true image into a blurred image according to a 2-dimensional transfer function. The 2-dimensional transfer function representing the motion is derived using blind estimation techniques or by using information from sensors that detect the motion. The transfer function is inverted and used to define a corrective filter. The filter is applied to the image and the blur due to the motion is removed, restoring the correct image. Another embodiment uses the transfer function to avoid blur by combining multiple consecutive images taken at a fast shutter speed." The patent application was filed on Nov. 19, 2008 (12/274,032).
