A Sharpness Based Loss Function for Removing Out-of-Focus Blur
The success of modern Deep Neural Network (DNN) approaches can be attributed to the use of complex optimization criteria beyond standard losses such as mean absolute error (MAE) or mean squared error (MSE). In this work, we propose a novel method of utilising a no-reference sharpness metric Q introduced by Zhu and Milanfar for removing out-of-focus blur from images. We also introduce a novel dataset of real-world out-of-focus images for assessing restoration models. Our fine-tuned method produces images with a 7.5 % increase in perceptual quality (LPIPS) as compared to a standard model trained only on MAE. Furthermore, we observe a 6.7 % increase in Q (reflecting sharper restorations) and 7.25 % increase in PSNR over most state-of-the-art (SOTA) methods.
