RealVDeblur: One-Step Diffusion for Generalizable Real-World Video Deblurring

arXiv:2607. 20628v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Real-world video deblurring remains challenging due to diverse motion patterns, complex degradations, and the scarcity of realistic training data, yet robust restoration is critical for downstream pipelines such as mobile imaging and 3D reconstruction.

Controllable blind deblurring with diffusion models

The paper introduces SuperSharpen, a diffusion-based method for blind deblurring in professional photography that can invert unknown isotropic blur without knowing the degradation kernel. It offers explicit control over restoration strength via a blur measure and compares two conditioning strategies: a ControlNet-style adapter on a frozen backbone and full finetuning of the diffusion prior. Experiments on synthetic and real-world blur show that finetuning yields higher fidelity with fewer hallucinated details, improving perceptual quality and controllable restoration strength.

WildShadowRemover: In-the-Wild Video Shadow Removal via Detail-Preserving Video Diffusion Models

WildShadowRemover is a framework that adapts a pretrained video diffusion model for robust in-the-wild video shadow removal using LoRA fine-tuning. It augments the frozen VAE decoder with a detail injection module and introduces a shadow‑mask‑guided frequency‑decomposed modulation module to restore high‑frequency textures while suppressing shadow artifacts, with monocular depth priors providing geometry‑aware guidance. The authors also create WildShadow, a large‑scale paired video shadow removal dataset, and show that their method outperforms existing approaches in shadow removal quality, temporal consistency, and generalization across challenging real‑world scenarios.

Realistic Compound-Lens Defocus Blur Synthesis

Defocus blur degrades fine image structures and limits visual perception, which can adversely affect downstream vision tasks. Although recent deep learning deblurring methods have achieved strong performance, their effectiveness depends on training data and often degrades across cameras and lenses due to limited optical diversity and realism in existing datasets.
