Abstract: The blur removal due to camera shake and motion of the scene is been considered as a research topic in Image processing. To build a more sharper and reduced blurred image, an algorithm can be selected which is capable of grouping a burst of images from that less blurred image from each frame can be preferred through a weighted average in the Fourier Transform. It found to be a better method to reduce the blur in the burst of images. The algorithm is simple to implement and easy to define theoretically. With a weighted average, the method can be seen as an overview of the align and standard procedure provoked by hand-shake physiology to choose the sharpness image selection and it is supported theoretically. The calculation of a weighted average of the Fourier Coefficients for the images in the burst can be generated by considering sequence of registered images as an input. An algorithm “Monte Carlo ” has been proposed to reduce the computation complexity and to improve the quality of the image. After the process of deblurring, the improved quality of the image is capable to spot the specific exposure time.

I. INTRODUCTION A blur is a shape or region which cannot be seen clearly recorded changes during the recording of a single exposure, because it do not have distinct outline. There are several either due to rapid movement or long exposure.

This aberration is familiar to everyone, who has used For example, a clear image of the face can be shown when we a camera, video camera, microscope, telescope, or binoculars. can be able to recognize eyes, ears, nose, etc very clearly.

CONCLUSION Different blur images from the hand held camera, phones etc are taken for making the image very clear without any blur. The deblurring process is used to remove the noise, sharpen the image and improve the quality of the images. Weighted Fourier Coefficient method has been proposed to overcome the challenge which has been discussed in the paper. This experiment can provide better results than the previous approaches for removing the blur and also improve the computational complexity.
