Fix your blurred images CSI-style with this app

Listen to article

A software engineer has developed an application that lets you deblur any blurred or out-of-focus image almost similar to how you see it on movies and TV shows.

We all have it – blurred and out-of-focus images due to sharp movements or poor camera focus. Usually, those images are irreparable and you sometimes hope that you have a high-tech computer lab and mad photo-editing skills so you can fix the image with a few taps on the keyboard just like what you see on CSI (Crime Scene Investigation). Now you can do it using a simple application called SmartDeblur.

SmartDeblur was created by Vladimir Yuzhikov – a software engineer specialized in image and signal processing. The app was written on C++ using Qt 4.8 and uses a special algorithm to bring details back on a blurred picture. Below is a sample restoration on an out-of-focused image taken by the iPhone 4S.

The restoration is not perfect but it has successfully brought out important details on the image and all I did was adjust a slider within the app. This is very useful if you find Photoshop a little complex.

You can try and download SmartDeblur here then let us know how the app worked out for you.

Actually if you go and download it, it gives you the installer for OSX too… SmartDeblur-1.27-mac.dmg included with the exe file.

With this, you can get a snapshot of blurry CCTV frame, and it might be able to get more detail on what ever you wanted to look at (faces, clothing … )

Also, will this work on purposely blurred portions of a picture. IE blur senors on videos.
