Image Deconvolution

In this example, we deconvolve an image using Richardson-Lucy deconvolution algorithm ([1], [2]).

The algorithm is based on a PSF (Point Spread Function), where PSF is described as the impulse response of the optical system. The blurred image is sharpened through a number of iterations, which needs to be hand-tuned.
