Color Image Restoration

I recently got a challenging job from my professor, that I needed to solve in 24 HOURS. I failed. I realized the problem was not as straight forward. The problem was a color image restoration problem.

Image Restoration for grayscale images works just fine. We have lot of tools and even matlab has readymade functions for it.
However for color images the equation is not that simple. In addition to all the correlation and noise and blurring, we have interdependence between channels.
So it turns out that we need to consider correlation across channels while inverting the process.
I did find a few papers but again the math was very involved and no matlab function is avialable for color images to implement those papers. So its obvious that either the methods are not computer efficient or they are not universally applicable to a wide gamut of images.

I shall edit this post when I get more links and answers to this problem.

Suggestions please?

The Image Processing forum

Hi
I am an Image Processing enthusiast and I am continuosly trying out new algorithms to tackle one or the other problems with images. However I am lazy with math and coding sometimes. Also I have very naive/brainstorming questions that I prefer asking in an open forum. Thats the reason why I created this blog. Those reading this blog and have similar issues and concerns like mine, kindly send me your email id as a comment in this blog and I shall invite you as an author for this blog and you can start posting questions as well.

Note that only questions are posted as blogs. Answers need to be given in comments to the posts.

I have already invited Lalit, Sunando and Surya my ex-labmates and experts in Image Processing to start posting questions and answering some.

I hope we are all able to answer some questions and learn things from this discussion website.
