Abstract: Video deblurring, which aims at restoring the sharp video from blurry video, is drawing increasing attention in the field of computer vision. In this paper, a method called Multi-Attention Convolutional Neural Network (MACNN) consisting of the temporal-spatial attention module, the frame channel attention module, and the feature extraction-reconstruction module is proposed. First, we use the temporal-spatial attention module and the frame channel attention module to capture features with temporal and spatial information existing across neighboring frames. Then, these captured features are fused and reconstructed to restore the sharp frame. Last but not least, we train MACNN together with a content loss and a perceptual loss in an end-to-end manner to recover realistic video details. Both quantitative and qualitative evaluation results on standard benchmarks demonstrate the proposed MACNN is superior to the state-of-the-art methods in terms of accuracy, efficiency, and visual effect.
