Definition

Motion blur is due to motion of scene objects or the camera, while the camera shutter is open, thus causing scene points to be imaged over a large area of camera sensor or film. The motion blur is a projection of the motion path of the moving objects onto the image plane. The motion path of a point can be due to translation and rotation of the camera or scene objects in three dimensions. There can be different paths for different parts of the scene, and in light-limited situations, when using long exposures, these paths can be quite large, resulting in very large blurs.

Background

Image blur can be described by a point spread function (PSF). A PSF models how an imaging system captures a single point in the world – it literally describes how a point spreads across an image. An entire image is then made up of a sum of the...
