• Abstract summary: Blurry video frame (BVFI) aims to generate high-frame-rate clear videos from low-frame-rate blurry videos. BVFI methods usually fail to fully leverage all valuable information, which ultimately hinders their performance. We propose a simple end-to-end three-stage framework to fully explore useful information from blurry videos.

• Abstract: Blurry video frame interpolation (BVFI) aims to generate high-frame-rate clear videos from low-frame-rate blurry videos, is a challenging but important topic in the computer vision community. Blurry videos not only provide spatial and temporal information like clear videos, but also contain additional motion information hidden in each blurry frame. However, existing BVFI methods usually fail to fully leverage all valuable information, which ultimately hinders their performance. In this paper, we propose a simple end-to-end three-stage framework to fully explore useful information from blurry videos. The frame interpolation stage designs a temporal deformable network to directly sample useful information from blurry inputs and synthesize an intermediate frame at an arbitrary time interval. The temporal feature fusion stage explores the long-term temporal information for each target frame through a bi-directional recurrent deformable alignment network. And the deblurring stage applies a transformer-empowered Taylor approximation network to recursively recover the high-frequency details. The proposed three-stage framework has clear task assignment for each module and offers good expandability, the effectiveness of which are demonstrated by various experimental results. We evaluate our model on four benchmarks, including the Adobe240 dataset, GoPro dataset, YouTube240 dataset and Sony dataset. Quantitative and qualitative results indicate that our model outperforms existing SOTA methods. Besides, experiments on real-world blurry videos also indicate the good generalization ability of our model.

  Video deblurring aims to enhance the quality of restored results in motion-red videos by gathering information from adjacent video frames. We propose two modules: 1) Intra-frame feature enhancement operates within the exposure time of a single blurred frame, and 2) Inter-frame temporal feature alignment gathers valuable long-range temporal information to target frames. We demonstrate that our proposed methods outperform state-of-the-art frame-based and event-based motion deblurring methods through extensive experiments conducted on both synthetic and real-world deblurring datasets.

  We build on the common paradigm of transferring large-scale, image--text models to video via shallow temporal fusion. We expose two limitations to the approach: (1) decreased spatial capabilities, likely due to poor video--language alignment in standard video datasets, and (2) higher memory consumption, bottlenecking the number of frames that can be processed.

  Given an untrimmed video, temporal sentence grounding aims to locate a target moment semantically according to a sentence query. Previous respectable works have made decent success, but they only focus on high-level visual features extracted from decoded frames. We propose a new setting, compressed-domain TSG, which directly utilizes compressed videos rather than fully-decompressed frames as the visual input.
