Subject overview

Images, bursts and videos acquired by smartphones, action cameras, and even professional digital cameras are affected by blur of different sources. Even though some of these (intrinsic) sources can be calibrated, other (extrinsic) blur sources like motion, and defocus are unknown and need to be guessed from the degraded image itself. This blind deblurring problem is extremely ill-posed, and despite recent progress thanks to deep learning and generative AI techniques, the problem is still wide open for future improvements.

During the last three years, our team has significantly improved the state of the art performance in blind image deblurring. On one hand [Laroche2023] achieves reconstructions of unprecedented quality, but at a computational cost that is still not well-suited for real-time or embedded applications. On the other hand [Carbajal2023; Laroche2022] provide more flexibility at a lower cost but can only handle blur kernels of relatively small size. The aim of this thesis is to significantly improve the state of the art in blind image and video deblurring, in terms of image quality, real world applicability and computational speed by leveraging both mathematical models and cutting edge deep learning technologies.
