ABSTRACT
Camouflaging an object in a photograph is normally performed with the intent of unnoticeably hiding it within a given image. In this work, we give a different dimension to this problem and raise the interesting issue of camouaging motion blur with special relevance to non-uniformly blurred images. Given a blurred photograph, we apply a suitably derived blurring model to smear a target object and naturally blend it into the motion blurred background by using alpha matting. We validate our photo-realistic compositing approach on several synthetic and real examples.

Modeling motion blur in computer-generated images
SIGGRAPH '83: Proceedings of the 10th annual conference on Computer graphics and interactive techniquesThis paper describes a procedure for modeling motion blur in computer-generated images. Motion blur in photography or cinematography is caused by the motion of objects during the finite exposure time the camera shutter remains open to record the image ...
Robust blind motion deblurring using near-infrared flash image
In light-limited situations, camera motion blur is one of the prime causes for poor image quality. Recovering the blur kernel and latent image from the blurred observation is an inherently ill-posed problem. In this paper, we introduce a hand-held ...
Non-uniform Deblurring for Shaken Images
Photographs taken in low-light conditions are often blurry as a result of camera shake, i.e. a motion of the camera while its shutter is open. Most existing deblurring methods model the observed blurry image as the convolution of a sharp image with a ...
