We propose a practical method to remove photo blur due to camera shake, which is a typical problem when taking photos in dim lighting conditions such as indoor or night scenes. We use a pair of images, one of them blurred and the other one underexposed or noisy because of high ISO setting. Existing methods assume convolution model, that is the same blur in the whole image. It is seldom true in practice, especially for wide angle lens photos. We apply a space-variant model of blurring valid in many real situations. Results are documented by a photograph of a night scene.
