| Summary: | Blind image deblurring aims to recover an output latent image and a blur kernel from a given blurred image. Kernel estimation is a significant step in blind image deblurring and requires a regularization technique to minimize the cost function and the edges of objects to generate a sharp image in a better way. This study proposes a new image regularization technique called Weber's Law Regularization (WLR) based on the Weber law phenomenon. The Weber ratio was used to preserve the edges of small salient objects and to minimize the cost function to obtain a sharp image while minimizing the ringing effect. To validate the WLR, experiments were conducted on benchmark synthetic and real word images and compared with existing state-of-the-art methods. The experimental results showed that WLR can effectively and efficiently deblur images even in the absence of prior knowledge.
