In many applications of image processing, the observed image can be considered as a convolution of the original image and the point spread function (PSF) of the observation instruments. The operation to obtain the original image from the observed image is called deconvolution. We have more interests in the case named blind deconvolution that the PSF is not known in advance. Based on kurtosis extrema, we develop an algorithm of blind deconvolution. Several experiments on the micrograph and astronomy images demonstrate its feasibility. This is a universal image blind deconvolution method, and can be applied to many image blind deconvolution areas.
