Resumen de Preconditioners for image restoration by reblurring techniques

Pietro Dell�Acqua, Marco Donatelli, Claudio Estatico

• It is well known that iterative algorithms for image deblurring that involve the normal equations show usually a slow convergence. A variant of the normal equations which replaces the conjugate transpose AH of the system matrix A with a new matrix is proposed.

  This approach, which is linked with regularization preconditioning theory and reblurring processes, can be applied to a wide set of iterative methods; here we examine Landweber, Steepest descent, Richardson�Lucy and Image Space Reconstruction Algorithm. Several computational tests show that this strategy leads to a significant improvement of the convergence speed of the methods. Moreover it can be naturally combined with other widely used acceleration techniques.
