In this paper, a highly-adaptive unsharp masking (UM) method is proposed and called the blurriness-guided UM, or BUM, in short. The proposed BUM exploits the estimated local blurriness as the guidance information to perform pixel-wise enhancement. The consideration of local blurriness is motivated b...
