• Abstract: In many real-world scenarios, recorded videos suffer from accidental focus blur, and while video deblurring methods exist, most specifically target motion blur or spatial-invariant blur. This paper introduces a framework optimized for the as yet unattempted task of video focal deblurring (refocusing). 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 designed to efficiently align relevant features between blurry and sharp domains. Additionally, we propose a novel technique for generating synthetic focal blur data, broadening the model's learning capabilities and robustness 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 focal blur degradations as well as the corresponding blur maps. Comprehensive experiments 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. Our source code and the developed databases will be made available at https://github.com/crispianm/DaBiT

  We propose a domain adaptation scheme based on a blurring model to achieve test-time fine-tuning for deblurring models in unseen domains. Since blurred and sharp pairs are unavailable for fine-tuning during inference, our scheme can generate domain-adaptive training pairs to calibrate a deblurring model for the target domain. Our approach can significantly improve state-of-the-art video deblurring methods, providing performance gains of up to 7.54dB on various real-world video deblurring datasets.

  We propose a video deblurring method that leverages both neighboring frames and existing sharp frames using hybrid Transformers for feature aggregation. To aggregate nearest sharp features from detected sharp frames, we utilize a global Transformer with multi-scale matching capability. Our proposed method outperforms state-of-the-art video deblurring methods as well as event-driven video deblurring methods in terms of quantitative metrics and visual quality.

  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 two novel approaches to deblurring videos by effectively aggregating information from multiple video frames.

Second, for motion compensation, instead of aligning frames by warping with estimated motions, we use a pixel volume that contains candidate sharp pixels to resolve motion estimation errors.
