The HKUST research introduces a "fitting-to-test-data" pipeline for video deblurring, training a network directly on the blurry input video to overcome the domain gap inherent in pre-trained models. This self-supervised approach, accelerated by MAML, significantly improves deblurring quality with user preference rates between 66.0% and 94.2% while reducing processing time from hours to approximately five minutes per video.

Key insights

  • Training a model directly on a single test video can effectively address the domain gap for deblurring, leading to highly adaptive and robust performance.
  • Even blurry videos contain sufficient internal information (sharper frames, scene textures) that can be leveraged for self-supervised deblurring without external datasets.
  • Meta-learning can significantly reduce the computational burden of internal learning approaches, making them practical for real-world applications with minimal quality compromise.
