The reconstruction of smeared and out-of-focus images is considered. The pr
oblem is described by Fredholm-type integral equations of the first kind. T
hey are solved using Fourier transformation and Tikhonov regularization wit
h trial-and-error selection of the regularization parameter alpha. Software
is developed. Numerical results are presented. (C) 2000 The Optical Societ
