A Constrained Deformable Convolutional Network for Efficient Single Image Dynamic Scene Blind Deblurring with Spatially-Variant Motion Blur Kernels Estimation
share
Most existing deep-learning-based single image dynamic scene blind deblurring (SIDSBD) methods usually design deep networks to directly remove the spatially-variant motion blurs from one inputted motion blurred image, without blur kernels estimation. In this paper, inspired by the Projective Motion Path Blur (PMPB) model and deformable convolution, we propose a novel constrained deformable convolutional network (CDCN) for efficient single image dynamic scene blind deblurring, which simultaneously achieves accurate spatially-variant motion blur kernels estimation and the high-quality image restoration from only one observed motion blurred image. In our proposed CDCN, we first construct a novel multi-scale multi-level multi-input multi-output (MSML-MIMO) encoder-decoder architecture for more powerful features extraction ability. Second, different from the DLVBD methods that use multiple consecutive frames, a novel constrained deformable convolution reblurring (CDCR) strategy is proposed, in which the deformable convolution is first applied to blurred features of the inputted single motion blurred image for learning the sampling points of motion blur kernel of each pixel, which is similar to the estimation of the motion density function of the camera shake in the PMPB model, and then a novel PMPB-based reblurring loss function is proposed to constrain the learned sampling points convergence, which can make the learned sampling points match with the relative motion trajectory of each pixel better and promote the accuracy of the spatially-variant motion blur kernels estimation.
