BASED: Benchmarking, Analysis, and Structural Estimation of Deblurring

원문 초록

This paper discusses the challenges of evaluating deblurring-methods quality and proposes a reduced-reference metric based on machine learning. Traditional quality-assessment metrics such as PSNR and SSIM are common for this task, but not only do they correlate poorly with subjective assessments, they also require ground-truth (GT) frames, which can be difficult to obtain in the case of deblurring. To develop and evaluate our metric, we created a new motion-blur dataset using a beam splitter. The setup captured various motion types using a static camera, as most scenes in existing datasets include blur due to camera motion. We also conducted two large subjective comparisons to aid in metric development. Our resulting metric requires no GT frames, and it correlates well with subjective human perception of blur.
