Advanced Inspection System on Expressways Using Pixel-wise Deblurring Imaging

As an application example of "Pixel-wise Deblurring Imaging" which are developed in our laboratory, we propose alternative method of advanced inspection for maintenance and management of infrastructure. In camera shooting, motion blur is one of the main factors leading to image quality degradation. Efforts to eliminate this motion blur have been tackled by various methods such as shake correction function and exposure time limiting for image quality improvement. However, there are situations in which it is difficult to close to vehicular traffic when inspecting the infrastructure for maintenance purposes. So it is required to photograph structures while a camera is moving on expressways at high speed. Furthermore, it is extremely difficult to photograph a high resolution image without motion blur. In order to solve the problem, we propose a newly developed method by using motion-blur compensation system.

Great stuff.

[@brodobroggins]

Wouldn't this inspection system have gaps in its mapping for every return cycle of the mirror?

hilariously terrible narrating style, nice application of novel technology.
