• Abstract summary: Face deblurring aims to restore a clear face image from a blurred input image with more explicit structure and facial details. We design an effective face deblurring network based on separable normalization and adaptive denormalization. Experimental results on both CelebA and CelebA-HQ datasets demonstrate that the proposed face deblurring network restores face structure with more facial details.

• Abstract: Face deblurring aims to restore a clear face image from a blurred input image with more explicit structure and facial details. However, most conventional image and face deblurring methods focus on the whole generated image resolution without consideration of special face part texture and generally produce unsufficient details. Considering that faces and backgrounds have different distribution information, in this study, we designed an effective face deblurring network based on separable normalization and adaptive denormalization (SNADNet). First, We fine-tuned the face parsing network to obtain an accurate face structure. Then, we divided the face parsing feature into face foreground and background. Moreover, we constructed a new feature adaptive denormalization to regularize fafcial structures as a condition of the auxiliary to generate more harmonious and undistorted face structure. In addition, we proposed a texture extractor and multi-patch discriminator to enhance the generated facial texture information. Experimental results on both CelebA and CelebA-HQ datasets demonstrate that the proposed face deblurring network restores face structure with more facial details and performs favorably against state-of-the-art methods in terms of structured similarity indexing method (SSIM), peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR), Frechet inception distance (FID) and L1, and qualitative comparisons.

  We propose a novel paradigm based on the self-attention mechanism (i.e., the core of Transformer) to fully explore the representation capacity of the facial structure feature. Specifically, we design a Transformer-CNN aggregation network (TANet) consisting of two paths, in which one path uses CNNs responsible for restoring fine-grained facial details. By aggregating the features from the above two paths, the consistency of global facial structure and fidelity of local facial detail restoration are strengthened simultaneously.
