DeblurGAN: Blind Motion Deblurring Using Conditional Adversarial Networks

We present an end-to-end learning approach for motion deblurring, which is based on conditional GAN and content loss. It improves the state-of-the art in terms of peak signal-to-noise ratio, structural similarity measure and by 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. Second, we present a novel method of generating synthetic motion blurred images from the sharp ones, which allows realistic dataset augmentation.
