  • Patent number: 11928792
    Abstract: Disclosed is a fusion network-based method for image super-resolution and non-uniform motion deblurring. The method achieves, for the first time, restoration of a low-resolution non-uniform motion-blurred image based on a deep neural network. The network uses two branch modules to respectively extract features for image super-resolution and non-uniform motion deblurring, and achieves, by means of a feature fusion module that is trainable, adaptive fusion of outputs of the two branch modules for extracting features. Finally, an upsampling reconstruction module achieves a non-uniform motion deblurring and super-resolution task. According to the method, a self-generated set of training data is configured to perform offline training on a network, thereby achieving restoration of the low-resolution non-uniform motion-blurred image.
