Extraction of an optimal region of interest (ROI) is crucial in many image processing applications, such as estimation of the point spread PSF) and blind deconvolution (BD). Although the amount of publications on PSF and BD is quite extensive; however, the work on ROI estimation has not received much attention. Existing methods which used heuristic models are not only time-consuming but also computationally expensive. In this paper, we proposed a new ROI retrieval scheme based on image partitioning and entropy measurement feedback. This method has low computation cost since it contains no matrix operations. Comprehensive experiments on real and synthetic datasets revealed that the proposed method is competitive when compared with existing search techniques, averaging at 26.1 dB, 0.46 and 1.44 on peak signal-to-noise ratio, universal image quality index and error ratio scales, respectively. On average, the proposed method takes less than 10 s to retrieve the ROI which is significantly faster compared to established solution.
