Enhanced DeblurGAN: An advanced combinatorial model for motion blur removal in low-light photography

Abstract

This article aims to address the challenge of eliminating low-light motion blur, a problem that lacks effective solutions, despite being crucial in various application scenarios. For instance, it can help in the identification of moving individuals or license plates during nocturnal surveillance, filming running videos after dark, and managing animals in rural areas at night. These examples represent commonplace and significant scenarios. These are all important domains, but few approaches are effective at handling such specific cases simultaneously. This paper utilizes a fusion model to increase the brightness of an image while preserving the photographic details. The motion blur is subsequently eliminated from the brightness-enhanced image. This results in the enhancement of image details and the removal of motion blur. Comparing the model proposed in this paper with the commonly used Deblur model, it becomes apparent that the new model effectively enhances brightness in low-light motion blur while preserving image details and reducing much of the blur. This implies that the model is more versatile, as it can be used not only for images but also for low-light videos.
