It's not image restauration, but Cyrus Harmon's PhD thesis incorporated analysis of gene-expression images. He wrote a couple of nice image processing libraries in lisp. Check out his website at http://cyrusharmon.org In terms of numerical analysis, there are a couple of systems being developed. I only checked out nlisp (http://nlisp.info), which aims at providing matlab-like operators on vectors and matrices and has an interface to the GNU Scientific Library. Very handy. You should also take a look at `lush' (http://lush.sf.net). It's not Common Lisp, but may offer a lot of stuff you may want to do right out of the box.
