DCAFNet: a lightweight network with dynamic context-aware fusion for image deblurring
摘要
Image motion blur recovery aims to restore images degraded by camera shake or object motion. Traditional methods often struggle with complex degradation. While convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and Transformers show high performance, they do not meet the needs of resource-constrained environments due to excessive computational overhead or limited receptive fields. To address these challenges, we propose DCAFNet, a lightweight network with an asymmetric encoder-decoder architecture. The network integrates the Dynamic Context-Aware Fusion Module (DCAFM) and the Frequency-Adaptive Attention Block (FAAB). DCAFM enables adaptive extraction and fusion of multi-scale features by employing large convolutional kernels and a gating mechanism, which enhances the model’s representational capacity. FAAB jointly learns features in both frequency and spatial domains, thereby improving high-frequency detail recovery and enhancing overall restoration quality. Experimental results demonstrate that DCAFNet, with just 6.05 MB of parameters, achieves state-of-the-art performance on several public benchmarks, demonstrating its efficiency and practical applicability.
