Abstract

In this paper, we propose a Generative Adversarial Network with Pixel and Perceptual regularizations, denoted as P2GAN, to restore single motion blurry and low-resolution images jointly into clear and high-resolution images. It is an end-to-end neural network consisting of deblurring module and super-resolution module, which repairs degraded pixels in the motion-blur images firstly, and then outputs the deblurred images and deblurred features for further reconstruction. More specifically, the proposed P2GAN integrates pixel-wise loss in pixel-level, contextual loss and adversarial loss in perceptual level simultaneously, in order to guide on deblurring and super-resolution reconstruction of the raw images that are blurry and in low-resolution, which help obtaining realistic images. Extensive experiments conducted on a real-world dataset manifest the effectiveness of the proposed approaches, outperforming the state-of-the-art models.
