Abstract

For static scenes with multiple depth layers, the existing defocused image deblurring methods have the problems of edge ringing artifacts or insufficient deblurring degree due to inaccurate estimation of blur amount, In addition, the prior knowledge in non blind deconvolution is not strong, which leads to image detail recovery challenge. To this end, this paper proposes a blur map estimation method for defocused images based on the gradient difference of the boundary neighborhood, which uses the gradient difference of the boundary neighborhood to accurately obtain the amount of blurring, thus preventing boundary ringing artifacts. Then, the obtained blur map is used for blur detection to determine whether the image needs to be deblurred, thereby improving the efficiency of deblurring without manual intervention and judgment. Finally, a non blind deconvolution algorithm is designed to achieve image deblurring based on the blur amount selection strategy and sparse prior. Experimental results show that our method improves PSNR and SSIM by an average of 4.6% and 7.3%, respectively, compared to existing methods. Experimental results show that our method outperforms existing methods. Compared with existing methods, our method can better solve the problems of boundary ringing artifacts and detail information preservation in defocused image deblurring.
