deblur

Restore image clarity

To deblur is to sharpen an image that has become blurry, typically through software processing: The photo editor can deblur faces in old photographs.

The term appears in photography, video editing, and image forensics, where algorithms attempt to reverse motion blur or focus problems.

Also used figuratively for clarifying anything obscured: Time helped deblur the details of what happened.
