DeblurGAN: Blind Motion Deblurring Using Conditional Adversarial Networks

Abstract

We present DeblurGAN, an end-to-end learned method for motion deblurring. The learning is based on a conditional GAN and the content loss. DeblurGAN achieves state-of-the art performance both in the structural similarity measure and visual appearance. The quality of the deblurring model is also evaluated in a novel way on a real-world problem - object detection on (de-)blurred images. The method is 5 times faster than the closest competitor - Deep-Deblur [25]. We also introduce a novel method for generating synthetic motion blurred images from sharp ones, allowing realistic dataset augmentation. The model, code and the dataset are available at https://github.com/KupynOrest/DeblurGAN.
