Abstract
The photographs acquired by an optical system are sometimes degraded by relative motion between an imaging system and the original scene during image formation. Traditional methods assume that the relative motion that causes rectilinear smear on the photographs happens at a constant velocity. However, in practical situation, accelerated motion can cause rectilinear smear on the photograph and is the general form of the linear motion. In this paper, we present an analysis of rectilinear smear due to the accelerated motion and the restoration of photographs degraded by the rectilinear smear. The blurred image is restored by using an inverse filter. Experimental results show the feasibility and reliability of the method.
