TL;DR

RealDefocus, a benchmark derived from the real-world RealBokeh dataset originally proposed for Bokeh Rendering, is built on, providing paired defocused inputs and sharp ground truth images, predefined training/validation/test splits, and a unified evaluation framework for comparing image restoration and neural rendering approaches.

Abstract

Single-Image Defocus Deblurring (SIDD) aims to recover an all-in-focus image from a single defocused observation, but rigorous and reproducible evaluation remains challenging due to the scarcity of realistic, high-resolution datasets with well-aligned defocused/sharp pairs and standardized protocols. We build on RealDefocus, a benchmark derived from the real-world RealBokeh dataset originally proposed for Bokeh Rendering. RealDefocus provides paired defocused inputs and sharp ground truth images, predefined training/validation/test splits, and a unified evaluation framework for comparing image restoration and neural rendering approaches. We further outline a benchmarking protocol with cross-dataset validation to assess reconstruction quality and generalization.

Boosting defocus deblurring via learning from all-in-focus images

Defocus deblurring is a challenging task due to spatially varying blur and limited aligned training data. Existing datasets suffer from insufficient scene diversity and misalignment between defocused and all-in-focus images, restricting network performance. Additionally, single-stage autoencoders often fall into local...

Controllable Blind Deblurring with Diffusion Models

Image acquisition with a camera involves several degradations due to the optical system, sensor, or low-level processing steps. We address blind deblurring in professional photography: we aim to invert unknown isotropic blur without knowledge of the degradation kernel. For such inverse problems,where some high-frequenc...

Quadri-Wave Lateral Shearing Interferogram Outpainting Using QW-GAN for Accurate Wavefront Reconstruction

This paper proposes a novel outpainting technique for quadri-wave lateral shearing interferograms which employs Quadri-Wave Generative Adversarial Networks (QW-GANs). QW-GAN is adversarially trained to capture the high-order statistics of real interferograms. It thereby avoids the Gibbs-ringing artifacts and spectral l...
