Blind deconvolution is useful in astronomy and space domain awareness where you can make reasonable assumptions that the support for the signal pixels is limited against a blank background. This isn't the case in everyday terrestrial photography, and the Lena image on that wiki shows the sorts of results you get from applying a blind deconvolution algorithm naively to this sort of imagery.

the edges seems to be restored fine on that image - this is exactly what you'd need for fingerprints.

Also, the image have clear partial palm prints which police may have had in their db on this guy too.
