TL;DR: Blur2Blur converts images from unknown blur into a known blur. This version retains the original content while applying a different blur kernel that has been effectively trained and captured by supervision deblurring models.

Abstract: This paper presents an innovative framework designed to train an image deblurring algorithm tailored to a specific camera device. This algorithm works by transforming a blurry input image, which is challenging to deblur, into another blurry image that is more amenable to deblurring. The transformation process, from one blurry state to another, leverages unpaired data consisting of sharp and blurry images captured by the target camera device. Learning this blur-to-blur transformation is inherently simpler than direct blur-to-sharp conversion, as it primarily involves modifying blur patterns rather than the intricate task of reconstructing fine image details. The efficacy of the proposed approach has been demonstrated through comprehensive experiments on various benchmarks, where it significantly outperforms state-of-the-art methods both quantitatively and qualitatively.

Getting Started ✨

Prerequisites

  • Python >= 3.7
  • Pytorch >= 1.9.0
  • CUDA >= 10.0

Installation

Install dependencies:

git clone https://github.com/VinAIResearch/Blur2Blur
cd Blur2Blur

conda create -n blur2blur python=3.9  
conda activate blur2blur  
pip install -r requirements.txt  

Datasets 💾

Data Preperation

You can download our proposed RB2V dataset by following this script:

chmod +x ./dataset/download_RB2V.sh
bash ./dataset/download_RB2V.sh

Download datasets REDS, GoPro and RSBlur then unzip to folder ./dataset and organize following this format:

dataset
├── Name of Unknown-Known dataset e.g. RB2V-GoPro
    ├── trainA
    ├──── (Train) Blurry set of Unknown Blur
    ├──── ...
    ├── trainB
    ├──── (Train) Sharp set of Unknown Blur
    ├──── ...
    ├── trainC
    ├──── (Train) Blurry set of Known Blur
    ├──── ...
    ├── trainD
    ├──── (Train) Sharp set of Known Blur
    ├──── ...
    ├── testA
    ├──── (Test) Blurry set of Unknown Blur
    ├──── ...

where:

  • trainA, trainB: Blur/Sharp images from the Unknown Blur dataset for blur kernel conversion.
  • trainC, trainD: Blur/Sharp images from the Known Blur dataset for the target blur domain.
  • testA: Blurry images from the test-set of the Unknown Blur dataset.
