During doctoral studies, my main research topic was space-variant deblurring of images due to camera motion (image stabilization) and defocus. Since then my research interests extpanded to other areas of image restoration, such as noise reduction and super-resolution.

I participate in the organization of the Spring School of Image Processing, a popular meeting point of students from several czech institutions involved in image processing research. This year's program can be found here.

Current work
The following papers were accepted for ICIP'09

• Michal Šorel and Filip Šroubek, "Space-variant deblurring using one blurred and one underexposed image"
• Filip Šroubek, Michal Šorel, Jiří Boldyš and Jan Šroubek, "Pet image reconstruction using prior information from CT or MRI"

Recently, together with Filip Šroubek, we finished work on a chapter "Variational Methods in Image Deblurring" to the book Optical and Digital Image Processing, Fundamentals and Applications (edited by G. Cristobal, together with P. Schelkens and H. Thienpont).

We also work on a chapter "Towards superresolution in the presence of spatially varying blur" to the book Super-resolution imaging, edited by Payman Milanfar (should be finished by the end of October).

Supervised Master theses
