Realistic Blur Synthesis for Learning Image Deblurring
share
Training learning-based deblurring methods demands a significant amount of blurred and sharp image pairs. Unfortunately, existing synthetic datasets are not realistic enough, and existing real-world blur datasets provide limited diversity of scenes and camera settings. As a result, deblurring models trained on them still suffer from the lack of generalization ability for handling real blurred images. In this paper, we analyze various factors that introduce differences between real and synthetic blurred images, and present a novel blur synthesis pipeline that can synthesize more realistic blur. We also present RSBlur, a novel dataset that contains real blurred images and the corresponding sequences of sharp images. The RSBlur dataset can be used for generating synthetic blurred images to enable detailed analysis on the differences between real and synthetic blur. With our blur synthesis pipeline and RSBlur dataset, we reveal the effects of different factors in the blur synthesis. We also show that our synthesis method can improve the deblurring performance on real blurred images.
