how do i deblur a license plate

This topic has been closed for replies.

Correct answer Chuck Uebele

Are any of these examples from a video, or are they all just still clips? there is a technique called "Drizzle" that can increase the resolution of some images from frames with multiple exposures. It involves enlarging the original image several times, then putting them into a smart object and using mean to blend them together. It's mainly use for astro-photography, but I know a forensic photographer that uses this also.

Hate to say that but there is nothing you can do. There is not enough pixels to get it right, but the good news is that there is another software that can do the job. AMPED FIVE - Videosurveillance enhancement samples . Just go to the police and show them the software!

Interesting software. Looks like it's geared more towards video, where you can have multiple frames to use a modified "Drizzle" process to improve the image. Doesn't say how much the software is, but if it requires a dongle, then I can guess that it's not cheap. I have a friend who's a forensic photographer - will have to ask him about this software.

I have a similar problem - I would love to be able to read a CCTV image of a license plate (of a car that ran into my bike), but have not been able to do it - can any one out there help (photo uploaded)?

Is that the highest resolution image you can get of that? If so, there's nothing there to deblur. Is it a video clip? There's a technique called Drizzle that can get a little more info if that's the case,
