Forward Motion Deblurring

We handle a special type of motion blur considering that cameras move primarily forward or backward. Solving this type of blur is of unique practical importance since nearly all car, traffic and bike-mounted cameras follow out-of-plane translational motion. We start with the study of geo-metric models and analyze the difficulty of existing methods to deal with them. We also propose a solution accounting for depth variation. Homographies associated with differ-ent 3D planes are considered and solved for in an optimiza-tion framework. Our method is verified on several natural image examples that cannot be satisfyingly dealt with by previous methods. 1
