A method and apparatus of correcting blur in a motion blurred image includes estimating the direction of blur in the motion blurred image based on edge response of the motion blurred image over a set of discrete directions and over subgroups of the discrete directions. The extent of blur in the motion blurred image is also estimated. An initial guess image based on the motion blurred image is generated and the guess image is blurred as a function of the estimated blur direction and blur extent. The blurred guess image is compared with the motion blurred image to generate an error image. The error image is blurred and weighted and then combined with the initial guess image thereby to update the guess image and correct for blur.

A magnification optical system forms an enlarged image of an object. It includes a refractive optical system including a plurality of lens groups; and a mirror train including a curved mirror, arranged in this order from an object side, a first focus structure configured to move the respective lens groups of the refractive optical system by different amounts along a normal line of a conjugate surface on the object side, and a second focus structure configured to move the respective lens groups along the normal line of the conjugate surface on the object side by different amounts from those of the first focus structure.

An image processing apparatus for correcting an input image for blur using a recovery filter in accordance with image blurriness includes a blurriness determining unit that receives a target image to be corrected, applies to the target image a recovery filter including a degree-of-blur parameter corresponding to blurriness while changing a value of the degree-of-blur parameter, evaluates a degree of recovery of each of corrected target images which have been corrected with recovery filters having different degree-of-blur parameter values, and determines blurriness of the target image based on the degree-of-blur parameter value of the highly evaluated recovery filter; and a blur correction unit that sets a recovery filter for the target image based on the degree-of-blur parameter in accordance with the determined blurriness of the target image and corrects the target image for blur using the recovery filter.

Providing a zoom lens system having excellent optical performance with a high zoom ratio, an imaging apparatus, and a method for zooming the zoom lens system. The system including, in order from an object, a first group G1 having negative refractive power, a second group G2 having positive refractive power, a third group G3 having negative refractive power, and a fourth group G4 having positive refractive power. An aperture stop S is disposed between the second group G2 and the fourth group G4. Upon zooming from a wide-angle end state to a telephoto end state, each group is moved such that a distance between the second group G2 and the third group G3 increases, a distance between the third group G3 and the fourth group G4 decreases, and the aperture stop S is moved together with the third group G3. Given conditions are satisfied.

Provided is a method for processing a radiographic image including obtaining a radiographic image using an indirect radiographic detector comprising a scintillator panel and a pixel array panel, determining a parameter value for defining a point spread function (PSF) according to the scintillator panel or the pixel array panel, and correcting the radiographic image by deconvoluting the radiographic image using the PSF to which the parameter value is applied.

An image-taking apparatus includes: a CCD having an imaging surface; and an image-taking optical system having an objective lens. The apparatus further includes: a shake detector that detects a shake of the image-taking apparatus; and a correction lens disposed between the objective lens and the CCD and moving in parallel with the imaging surface to correct a blur in an image formed on the imaging surface caused by the shake of the image-taking apparatus. The apparatus further includes: an electromagnet disposed behind the CCD and driving the correction lens; a power transmission system that moves the correction lens by transmitting power from the electromagnet to the correction lens; and a correction-lens controller that causes, based on a detection result from the shake detector, the electromagnet to drive the correction lens such that an image whose blur due to the shake is corrected is formed on the imaging surface.
