Abstract

A device, method, and non-transitory computer readable medium that for two-dimensional blind single-input multiple-output channel identification for image restoration. The method includes receiving, by a receiver having independent channels, a two-dimensional image data matrix then transforming the received two-dimensional image data matrix to a one-dimensional image vector. Channel parameters can then be estimated using the one-dimensional image vector. The method can then construct a restored image using the estimated channel parameters and the two-dimensional image data matrix.
