Forensic police drama writers everywhere: vindicated.

This is seriously cool technology.

Does this work with just motion blur or also with aperture blur? It seems like they are calculating the motion of the camera so perhaps just the former.

I suppose this is more of image sharpening rather than reconstruction. Is this very different from technology on cameras/phones that tries to reduce of photo blurness due to unsteady hands?

Let me load the specially constructed set of parameters specific to this image so that when I do the next step you get a really clear image.

That was a little too hand-wavy. I'm a little dubious until I see what went into that phase.

Now that is a feature I would upgrade for.

I assume this just undoes the effects of an unsteady camera during exposure--all the information is present in the image, just smeared along a predictable path, and can be reversed by something akin to a deconvolution (but more complicated as it involves arbitrary nearby points).

Upscaling an intrinsically low-resolution image is still in the realm of creating information where there was none, I think.
