Description
Summary:The restoration of blurred images remains a critical challenge in computational image processing, necessitating advanced methodologies capable of reconstructing fine details while mitigating structural degradation. In this study, an innovative image restoration framework was introduced, employing Complex Interval Pythagorean Fuzzy Sets (CIPFSs) integrated with mathematically structured transformations to achieve enhanced deblurring performance. The proposed methodology initiates with the geometric correction of pixel-level distortions induced by blurring. A key innovation lies in the incorporation of CIPFS-based entropy, which is synergistically combined with local statistical energy to enable robust blur estimation and adaptive correction. Unlike traditional fuzzy logic-based approaches, CIPFS facilitates a more expressive modeling of uncertainty by leveraging complex interval-valued membership functions, thereby enabling nuanced differentiation of blur intensity across image regions. A fuzzy inference mechanism was utilized to guide the refinement process, ensuring that localized corrections are adaptively applied to degraded regions while leaving undistorted areas unaffected. To preserve edge integrity, a geometric step function was applied to reinforce structural boundaries and suppress over-smoothing artifacts. In the final restoration phase, structural consistency is enforced through normalization and regularization techniques to ensure coherence with the original image context. Experimental validations demonstrate that the proposed model delivers superior image clarity, improved edge sharpness, and reduced visual artifacts compared to state-of-the-art deblurring methods. Enhanced robustness against varying blur patterns and noise intensities was also confirmed, indicating strong generalization potential. By unifying the expressive power of CIPFS with analytically driven restoration strategies, this approach contributes a significant advancement to the domain of image deblurring and restoration under uncertainty.
