This document discusses image restoration techniques. It defines image restoration as the process of taking a degraded image and estimating the original clean image. Common types of degradation include motion blur and noise. The document outlines the image formation process and degradation model both in continuous and discrete domains. It describes how degradation can be modeled as a convolution of the original image with a point spread function representing the blurring plus additive noise. The properties of linearity, homogeneity, and position invariance of degradation operators are also covered. Frequency domain techniques and references on image restoration are mentioned.
