A New Full-Reference Image Quality Metric for Motion Blur Profile Characterization

Motion blur is common in images captured by handheld devices, arising from hand, device and/or object motion. To restore sharp images from the images degraded by the motion, it is extremely important to assess the quality of the captured image and its corresponding blur profile as accurately as poss...
