Abstract

Image blur strongly degrades object recognition. We propose a mechanism to reduce defocus blur by reducing the aperture of the camera lens, and show that it leads to a far more robust recognition. The recognition is demonstrated via a Neural Network architecture that we have previously proposed for blurred face recognition.
