去模糊方法是影像處理領域中一個重要議題，也是一個具有挑戰性的影像處理問題。 影像中的模糊大致可分為兩種，由物體移動造成的局部模糊和相機晃動、景深或失焦而成的全域模糊，當方向各異且大小不同的模糊在同一影像中產生時，會使去模糊這項任務變得更具挑戰性！在單一影像去模糊中，已有基於深度學習的方法成功解決部分問題，但是，去模糊的任務不僅僅是還原出更清晰的影像，執行效率也是相當重要的一環。在本論文中，我們基於空洞卷積和編碼與解碼器的對稱架構，提出了一種影像去模糊方法的新框架。 參考了單影像超解析的方法，同樣是由低解析度逐步還原至高解析度的金字塔結構，輸入不同尺度的影像，有助於我們捕捉更多細節以利還原，搭配在語意分割中有相當顯著成果的編碼與解碼器架構，利用下採樣減少參數的使用，然而，為了修補下採樣丟失的部分訊息，我們使用空洞卷積來提升感受野，使用空洞卷積可以從特徵圖中捕獲更多的訊息，幫助重建更清晰的影像，此方法並不會額外地增加參數的使用，可以維持網路的複雜度。我們的神經網路不只可以輸出更精確的細節，在實驗速度上也有了明顯的提升，為了公平的評比，我們利用相同的標準數據庫進行訓練及測試，與其他最先進的深度學習去模糊方法相比，我們的方法還原了更清晰的全彩影像，運行時間也更加地迅速。

Several deep learning-based approaches are successful in single image deblurring, particularly, convolutional neural networks (CNN). Unlike traditional methods which try to estimate the blur kernel to extract the latent sharp image, CNN-based methods can directly find the mapping from the blurry input image to the latent sharp image. CNN usually has many layers to represent complex spatial relationships, and down-sampling layers are used to reduce the number of parameters (e.g., encoder-decoder architecture). However, down-sampling causes some spatial information to be lost, and this information could be useful in deblurring large regions. The receptive field is the spatial coverage of each feature, and increasing its value allows less loss of spatial information. We used dilated convolution to increase the receptive field of the features without increasing the number of parameters. Furthermore, the "coarse-to-fine" strategy is applied to the network to the blurry input image at different scales in this thesis. By using this strategy, we can progressively improve the outputs, and allow us to capture details from different scales, without adding more parameters. We show that the proposed model not only has better results with the state-of-the-art but also has faster execution time.
