Multiple Auxiliary Networks For Single Blind Image Deblurring

Single blind image deblurring caused by a combination of multiple factors has been one of the most challenging visual tasks. Recently, many essential methods of this task are based on deep learning networks and have achieved high performance. However, most of them only apply norm pixel-wise L1-loss function as the guide of training, which is not suitable or effective enough. In this paper, we propose Multiple Auxiliary Networks (MANet) for single blind image deblurring to assist norm L1-loss function and enhance the quality of the deblurring image. The main branch of our MANet is an encoder-decoder structure made up of residual blocks, and the three auxiliary branches are the edge prediction branch, the multi-scale refinement branch, and the perceptual loss branch. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed MANet can obtain better deblurring performance with more details than state-of-the-art methods. The code is released at github.com/ZERO2ER0/MANet.
