Deconvolution – Lucy-Richardson algorithm

Functions perform image deconvolution. They can be used for restoring the degraded image, in particular image that was obtained by applying the convolution operation with known kernel.

(Iterative method) [Ric72]. Border pixels of a source image are restored before deconvolution.

Note that to deconvolve an image, the image should NOT be saturated.

After applying the deconvolution, some details now appear clearer.
