De-blur photos of family and friends

Submitted by Boaz Super

In his Ph.D. research at the University of California San Diego (UCSD), Neel Joshi developed methods for enhancing a photo of a person's face using other images of that person. The work on "identity-specific priors" can perform deblurring, super-resolution, color-balancing, and exposure correction. Since people often take many pictures of their family and friends, good pictures of a person may often be available for improving a poor one. The work is reported in "Personal photo enhancement using example images," published in ACM Transactions on Graphics
