A progressive framework for rotary motion deblurring

The rotary motion deblurring is an inevitable procedure when the imaging seeker is mounted in the rotating missiles.Traditional rotary motion deblurring methods suffer from ringing artifacts and noise,especially for large blur extents.To solve the above problems,we propose a progressive rotary motion deblurring framework consisting of a coarse deblurring stage and a refinement stage.In the first stage,we design an adaptive blur extents factor(BE factor)to balance noise suppression and details reconstruction.And a novel deconvolution model is proposed based on BE factor.In the second stage,a triplescale deformable module CNN(TDM-CNN)is designed to reduce the ringing artifacts,which can exploit the 2D information of an image and adaptively adjust spatial sampling locations.To establish a standard evaluation benchmark,a real-world rotary motion blur dataset is proposed and released,which includes rotary blurred images and corresponding ground truth images with different blur angles.Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms the state-of-the-art models on synthetic and real-world rotary motion blur datasets.The code and dataset are available at https://github.com/JinhuiQin/RotaryDeblurring.

MIDNet:Deblurring Network for Material Microstructure Images

Scanning electron microscopy(SEM)is a crucial tool in the field of materials science,providing valuable insightsinto the microstructural characteristics of materials.Unfortunately,SEM images often suffer from blurrinesscaused by improper hardware calibration or imaging automation errors,which present challenges in analyzingand interpretingmaterial characteristics.Consequently,rectifying the blurring of these images assumes paramountsignificance to enable subsequent analysis.To address this issue,we introduce a Material Images DeblurringNetwork(MIDNet)built upon the foundation of the Nonlinear Activation Free Network(NAFNet).MIDNetis meticulously tailored to address the blurring in images capturing the microstructure of materials.The keycontributions include enhancing the NAFNet architecture for better feature extraction and representation,integratinga novel soft attention mechanism to uncover important correlations between encoder and decoder,andintroducing newmulti-loss functions to improve training effectiveness and overallmodel performance.We conducta comprehensive set of experiments utilizing the material blurry dataset and compare them to several state-of-theartdeblurring methods.The experimental results demonstrate the applicability and effectiveness of MIDNet in thedomain of deblurring material microstructure images,with a PSNR(Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio)reaching 35.26 dBand an SSIM(Structural Similarity)of 0.946.Our dataset is available at:https://github.com/woshigui/MIDNet.

Deblurring,artifact-free optical coherence tomography with deconvolution-random phase modulation

Deconvolution is a commonly employed technique for enhancing image quality in optical imaging methods.Unfortu-nately,its application in optical coherence tomography(OCT)is often hindered by sensitivity to noise,which leads to ad-ditive ringing artifacts.These artifacts considerably degrade the quality of deconvolved images,thereby limiting its effect-iveness in OCT imaging.In this study,we propose a framework that integrates numerical random phase masks into the deconvolution process,effectively eliminating these artifacts and enhancing image clarity.The optimized joint operation of an iterative Richardson-Lucy deconvolution and numerical synthesis of random phase masks(RPM),termed as De-conv-RPM,enables a 2.5-fold reduction in full width at half-maximum(FWHM).We demonstrate that the Deconv-RPM method significantly enhances image clarity,allowing for the discernment of previously unresolved cellular-level details in nonkeratinized epithelial cells ex vivo and moving blood cells in vivo.

Restoration of space-variant blurred image based on motion-blurred target segmentation

In imaging on moving target, it is easy to get space- variant blurred image. In order to recover the image and gain recognizable target, an approach to recover the space-variant blurred image is presented based on image segmentation. Be- cause of motion blur＇s convolution process, the pixels of observed image＇s target and background will be displaced and piled up to produce two superposition regions. As a result, the neighbor- ing pixels in the superposition regions will have similar grey level change. According to the pixel＇s motion-blur character, the target＇s blurred edge of superposition region could be detected. Canny operator can be recurred to detect the target edge which parallels the motion blur direction. Then in the segmentation process, the whole target image which has the character of integral convolution between motion blur and real target image can be obtained. At last, the target image is restored by deconvolution algorithms with adding zeros. The restoration result indicates that the approach can effectively solve the kind of problem of space-variant motion blurred image restoration.

Image Motion Deblurring Based on Salient Structure Selection and L0-2 Norm Kernel Estimation

Single image motion deblurring has been a very challenging problem in the field of image processing. Although there are many researches had been proposed to solve this problem, it still has problems on kernel accuracy. In order to improve the kernel accuracy, an effective structure selection method was used to select the salient structure of the blur image. Then a novel kernel estimation method based on L0-2 norm was proposed. To guarantee the sparse kernel and eliminate the negative influence of details L0-norm was used. And L2-norm was used to ensure the continuity of kernel. Many experiments were done to compare proposed method and state-of-the-art methods. The results show that our method can estimate a better kernel and use less time than previous work, especially when the size of blur kernel is large.

BaMBNet:A Blur-Aware Multi-Branch Network for Dual-Pixel Defocus Deblurring

Reducing the defocus blur that arises from the finite aperture size and short exposure time is an essential problem in computational photography.It is very challenging because the blur kernel is spatially varying and difficult to estimate by traditional methods.Due to its great breakthrough in low-level tasks,convolutional neural networks(CNNs)have been introdu-ced to the defocus deblurring problem and achieved significant progress.However,previous methods apply the same learned kernel for different regions of the defocus blurred images,thus it is difficult to handle nonuniform blurred images.To this end,this study designs a novel blur-aware multi-branch network(Ba-MBNet),in which different regions are treated differentially.In particular,we estimate the blur amounts of different regions by the internal geometric constraint of the dual-pixel(DP)data,which measures the defocus disparity between the left and right views.Based on the assumption that different image regions with different blur amounts have different deblurring difficulties,we leverage different networks with different capacities to treat different image regions.Moreover,we introduce a meta-learning defocus mask generation algorithm to assign each pixel to a proper branch.In this way,we can expect to maintain the information of the clear regions well while recovering the missing details of the blurred regions.Both quantitative and qualitative experiments demonstrate that our BaMBNet outperforms the state-of-the-art(SOTA)methods.For the dual-pixel defocus deblurring(DPD)-blur dataset,the proposed BaMBNet achieves 1.20 dB gain over the previous SOTA method in term of peak signal-to-noise ratio(PSNR)and reduces learnable parameters by 85%.The details of the code and dataset are available at https://github.com/junjun-jiang/BaMBNet.

Remote Sensing Image Deblurring Based on Grid Computation

In general, there is a demand for real-time processing of mass quantity remote sensing images. However, the task is not only data-intensive but also computating-intensive. Distributed processing is a hot topic in remote sensing processing and image deblurring is also one of the most important needs. In order to satisfy the demand for quick proc- essing and deblurring of mass quantity satellite images, we developed a distributed, grid computation-based platform as well as a corresponding middleware for grid computation. Both a constrained power spectrum equalization algorithm and effective block processing measures, which can avoid boundary effect, were applied during the processing. The re- sult is satisfactory since computation efficiency and visual effect were greatly improved. It can be concluded that the technology of spatial information grids is effective for mass quantity remote sensing image processing.

Motion-Blurred Image Restoration Based on Joint Invertibility of PSFs

To implement restoration in a single motion blurred image,the PSF(Point Spread Function)is difficult to estimate and the image deconvolution is ill-posed as a result that a good recovery effect cannot be obtained.Considering that several different PSFs can get joint invertibility to make restoration wellposed,we proposed a motion-blurred image restoration method based on joint invertibility of PSFs by means of computational photography.Firstly,we designed a set of observation device which composed by multiple cameras with the same parameters to shoot the moving target in the same field of view continuously to obtain the target images with the same background.The target images have the same brightness,but different exposure time and different motion blur length.It is easy to estimate the blur PSFs of the target images make use of the sequence frames obtained by one camera.According to the motion blur superposition feature of the target and its background,the complete blurred target images can be extracted from the observed images respectively.Finally,for the same target images with different PSFs,the iterative restoration is solved by joint solution of multiple images in spatial domain.The experiments showed that the moving target observation device designed by this method had lower requirements on hardware conditions,and the observed images are more convenient to use joint-PSF solution for image restoration,and the restoration results maintained details well and had lower signal noise ratio(SNR).

Image defocus deblurring method based on gradient difference of boundary neighborhood

Background For static scenes with multiple depth layers,existing defocused image deblurring methods have the problems of edge-ringing artifacts or insufficient deblurring owing to inaccurate estimation of the blur amount,and prior knowledge in nonblind deconvolution is not strong,which leads to image detail recovery challenges.Methods To this end,this study proposes a blur map estimation method for defocused images based on the gradient difference of the boundary neighborhood,which uses the gradient difference of the boundary neighborhood to accurately obtain the amount of blurring,thereby preventing boundary ringing artifacts.The obtained blur map is then used for blur detection to determine whether the image needs to be deblurred,thereby improving the efficiency of deblurring without manual intervention and judgment.Finally,a nonblind deconvolution algorithm was designed to achieve image deblurring based on the blur amount selection strategy and sparse prior.Results Experimental results showed that our method improves PSNR(Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio)and SSIM(Structural Similarity Index)by an average of 4.6%and 7.3%,respectively,compared to existing methods.Conclusions Experimental results showed that the proposed method outperforms existing methods.Compared to existing methods,our method can better solve the problems of boundary ringing artifacts and detail information preservation in defocused image deblurring.

Blind Deblurring Based on L_0 Norm from Salient Edges

Motion deblurring is a basic problem in the field of image processing and analysis. This paper proposes a new method of single image blind deblurring which can be significant to kernel estimation and non-blind deconvolution. Experiments show that the details of the image destroy the structure of the kernel, especially when the blur kernel is large. So we extract the image structure with salient edges by the method based on RTV. In addition, the traditional method for motion blur kernel estimation based on sparse priors is conducive to gain a sparse blur kernel. But these priors do not ensure the continuity of blur kernel and sometimes induce noisy estimated results. Therefore we propose the kernel refinement method based on L0 to overcome the above shortcomings. In terms of non-blind deconvolution we adopt the L1/L2 regularization term. Compared with the traditional method, the method based on L1/L2 norm has better adaptability to image structure, and the constructed energy functional can better describe the sharp image. For this model, an effective algorithm is presented based on alternating minimization algorithm.

Blind Motion Deblurring for Online Defect Visual Inspection

Online defect visual inspection (ODVI) works while the object has to be static, otherwise the relative motion between camera and object will create motion blur in images. In order to implement ODVI in dynamic scene, it developes one blind motion deblurring method whose objective is to estimate blur kernel parameters precisely. In the proposed method, Radon transform on superpixels determinated the blur angle, and the autocorrelation function based on magnitude (AFM) of the preprocessed blurred image was utilized to identify the blur length. With the projection relationship discussed in this study, it will be unnecessary to rotate the blurred image or the axis. The proposed method is of high accuracy and robustness to noise, and it can somehow handle saturated pixels. To validate the proposed method, experiments have been carried out on synthetic images both in noise free and noisy situations. The results show that the method outperforms existing approaches. With the modified Richardson– Lucy deconvolution, it demonstrates that the proposed method is effective for ODVI in terms of subjective visual quality.
