  PROBE (Progressive Removal of Blur Residual) is a recursive framework for
blind deblurring. Using the elementary modified inverse filter at its core,
PROBE's experimental performance meets or exceeds the state of the art, both
visually and quantitatively. Remarkably, PROBE lends itself to analysis that
reveals its convergence properties. PROBE is motivated by recent ideas on
progressive blind deblurring, but breaks away from previous research by its
simplicity, speed, performance and potential for analysis. PROBE is neither a
functional minimization approach, nor an open-loop sequential method (blur
kernel estimation followed by non-blind deblurring). PROBE is a feedback
scheme, deriving its unique strength from the closed-loop architecture rather
than from the accuracy of its algorithmic components.
