Two new methods are presented for recovering the focused image of an object from only two blurred images recorded with different camera parameter settings. First a blur parameter /spl sigma/ is estimated using one of our two recently proposed depth-from-defocus methods. Then one of the two blurred images is deconvolved to recover the focused image. The first method requires only the knowledge of /spl sigma/ of the camera's point spread function (PSF). It is based on a new spatial domain convolution/deconvolution transform. The second method requires full knowledge of the form of the PSF and is estimated using step edges. The focused image is obtained through deconvolution in the Fourier Domain using the Wiener filter. For both methods, results of experiments on actual defocused images recorded by a CCD camera are presented. The first method requires less computation and gives satisfactory results for up to medium levels of blur. The second method gives good results for up to relatively high levels of blur.<>
