Defocus blur, due to spatially-varying sizes and shapes, is hard to remove. Existing methods either are unable to effectively handle irregular defocus blur or fail to generalize well on other datasets.
In this work, we propose a divide-and-conquer approach to tackling this issue, which gives rise to a novel end-to-end deep learning method, called prior-and-prediction inverse kernel transformer (P2IKT), for single image defocus deblurring. Since most defocus blur can be approximated as Gaussian blur or its variants, we construct an inverse Gaussian kernel module in our method to enhance its generalization ability. At the same time, an inverse kernel prediction module is introduced in order to flexibly address the irregular blur that cannot be approximated by Gaussian blur. We further design a scale recurrent transformer, which estimates mixing coefficients for adaptively combining the results from the two modules and runs the scale recurrent ``coarse-to-fine" procedure for progressive defocus deblurring. Extensive experimental results demonstrate that our P2IKT outperforms previous methods in terms of PSNR on multiple defocus deblurring datasets.

Main Track - Computer Vision

technical paper

We are pleased to announce the Thirty-Eighth AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence (AAAI-24), which will be held in Vancouver, British Columbia at the Vancouver Convention Centre – West Building from 20-27 February, 2024.

The purpose of the AAAI conference series is to promote research in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and foster scientific exchange between researchers, practitioners, scientists, students, and engineers across the entirety of AI and its affiliated disciplines. AAAI-24 will feature technical paper presentations, special tracks, invited speakers, workshops, tutorials, poster sessions, senior member presentations, competitions, and exhibit programs, and a range of other activities to be announced.

We expect for AAAI-24 to be an in-person conference – one author of all accepted papers will be expected to present work in person unless there are exceptional circumstances that prevent this.<br><br><br><br>
