3 Image Deblurring: Image deblurring techniques aim to restore images that are blurred due to
factors like motion, camera shake, or lens aberrations (Kundur and Hatzinakos, 1996). The concept of image
The following are the techniques that are used to represent image deblurring process
i. Deconvolution: This involves reversing the blurring process using the point spread function (PSF)
ii. Blind deconvolution: This involves estimating the PSF and then deconvolving the image (Levin et
al., 2011).
iii. Deep learning-based methods: These methods use neural networks to learn the deblurring process
2.1.4 Image Enhancement: Image enhancement techniques aim to improve the visual quality of images
i. Histogram equalization: This involves adjusting the image contrast to make it more visually
ii. Contrast stretching: This involves stretching the image contrast to make it more visually appealing
(Jain, 2010).

2.5 Practical Examples of Investigation.
2.5.1 Image Segmentation using Deep Learning for Low-Quality Medical Images with Complex
Backgrounds.
1. Techniques:
i. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs): This is used for image segmentation to separate objects
ii. U-Net Architecture: This is a type of CNN specifically designed for image segmentation tasks.
iii. Data Augmentation: This is a technique used to artificially increase the size of the training dataset,
2. Investigation
Ronnerberger et al. (2015) investigated the use of deep learning techniques for image segmentation
in low-quality medical images with complex backgrounds. They use a U-Net architecture to segment cells
3. Results
The authors achieved high accuracy in segmenting cells in low-quality images with complex
4. Evaluation
This study demonstrates the effectiveness of deep learning techniques in handling low-quality
images and complex backgrounds. The use of data augmentation techniques and U-Net architecture
can be applied to various image segmentation tasks, including medical image analysis.
