Image Text Deblurring Method Based on Generative Adversarial Network

Abstract

In the automatic sorting process of express delivery, a three-segment code is used to represent a specific area assigned by a specific delivery person. In the process of obtaining the courier order information, the camera is affected by factors such as light, noise, and subject shake, which will cause the information on the courier order to be blurred, and some information will be lost. Therefore, this paper proposes an image text deblurring method based on a generative adversarial network. The model of the algorithm consists of two generative adversarial networks, combined with Wasserstein distance, using a combination of adversarial loss and perceptual loss on unpaired datasets to train the network model to restore the captured blurred images into clear and natural image. Compared with the traditional method, the advantage of this method is that the loss function between the input and output images can be calculated indirectly through the positive and negative generative adversarial networks. The Wasserstein distance can achieve a more stable training process and a more realistic generation effect. The constraints of adversarial loss and perceptual loss make the model capable of training on unpaired datasets. The experimental results on the GOPRO test dataset and the self-built unpaired dataset showed that the two indicators, peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) and structural similarity index (SSIM), increased by 13.3% and 3%, respectively. The human perception test results demonstrated that the algorithm proposed in this paper was better than the traditional blur algorithm as the deblurring effect was better.
