Abstract
A method for estimating the point spread function (PSF) of a remotely sensed image is extended. The technique developed is based on locating and measuring blurred linear features in the imagery and tomographically reconstructing the PSF. A form of blind deconvolution is applied to extract an estimate of the line spread function (LSF - equivalent to the projection of the PSF in the direction of the feature) from image features able to be modelled by a combination of two step functions. Two methods of performing the blind deconvolution are compared. A method for utilising the LSF estimates to provide an image quality metric is proposed.
