Abstract :
An algorithm for the blind deconvolution of multichannel incoherent polarimetric imagery has been demonstrated recently in the literature. Three new aspects of the algorithm are explored in this paper. First, the algorithm is compared to the case of single channel blind deconvolution. Second, a test is designed to confirm or refute the presence of an apparent polarization angle bias as suggested in the original work. Finally, the case for multiframe-multichannel blind deconvolution is made. Each of these variations on the theme are addressed via simulation or laboratory data.
