• Abstract: In many real-world scenarios, recorded videos suffer from accidental focus blur, and while video deblurring methods exist, most specifically target motion blur. This paper introduces a framework optimised for the joint task of focal deblurring (refocusing) and video super-resolution (VSR). The proposed method employs novel map guided transformers, in addition to image propagation, to effectively leverage the continuous spatial variance of focal blur and restore the footage. We also introduce a flow re-focusing module to efficiently align relevant features between the blurry and sharp domains. Additionally, we propose a novel technique for generating synthetic focal blur data, broadening the model's learning capabilities to include a wider array of content. We have made a new benchmark dataset, DAVIS-Blur, available. This dataset, a modified extension of the popular DAVIS video segmentation set, provides realistic out-of-focus blur degradations as well as the corresponding blur maps. Comprehensive experiments on DAVIS-Blur demonstrate the superiority of our approach. We achieve state-of-the-art results with an average PSNR performance over 1.9dB greater than comparable existing video restoration methods.

  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.

  In this work, we aim ambitiously for a more realistic and challenging task - joint video multi-frame and deblurring under unknown exposure time. We first adopt a variant of supervised contrastive learning to construct an exposure-aware representation from input blurred frames. We then build our video reconstruction network upon the exposure and motion representation by progressive exposure-adaptive convolution and motion refinement.

  We propose a deep Recurrent Neural Network with Multi-scale Bi-directional Propagation (RNN-MBP) to propagate and gather information from unaligned neighboring frames for better video deblurring. To better evaluate the proposed algorithm and existing state-of-the-art methods on real-world blurry scenes, we also create a Real-World Blurry Video dataset. The proposed algorithm performs favorably against the state-of-the-art methods on three typical benchmarks.
