Self-distilled Dual-Network with Pixel Screening Loss for Blind Image Deblurring
摘要
In the field of image processing, blind image deblurring aims to restore sharp details in images blurred by an unknown convolution kernel. Recent advancements have shown that deep networks can act as effective image generative priors (DIP) for restoring clear images without requiring external datasets. However, the inherent non-uniqueness of solutions in blind image deblurring often leads DIP-based methods to converge on local optima, resulting in over- or under-deblurred images. To overcome this limitation, we propose a novel deblurring framework featuring dual image generators. These generators mutually constrain each other during training, guiding the model towards the optimal solution. Building on our network structure, we employ a self-ensemble and self-distillation strategy to guide network training, further enhancing performance. Additionally, we introduce a novel loss function based on a pixel screening method, which focuses on the important pixels. This loss enables the network to model the blur kernel more accurately and facilitates the restoration of image details. Our experiments demonstrate that our deblurring approach outperforms most existing methods both qualitatively and quantitatively.
