Abstract
We present a Maximum Entropy based approach to the restoration ofdegraded images as an alternative to restorationtechniques using inverse Wiener filtering.The method we discuss applies in particularto images corrupted by a relativelyhigh system noise. A variety of experimental results supportingour imaging model are included.
