Interval estimate with probabilistic background constraints in   deconvolution
  We present in this article the use of probabilistic background constraints in astronomical image deconvolution to approach to a solution as an interval estimate. We elaborate our objective -- the interval estimate of the unknown object from observed data and our approach -- monte-carlo experiment and analysis of marginal distributions of image values. One-dimensional observation and deconvolution using proposed approach are simulated. Confidence intervals reveal the uncertainties due to the background constraint are calculated and significance levels for sources retrieved from restored images are provided.
