Reference github repository for the paper "Improving Single-Image Defocus Deblurring: How Dual-Pixel Images Help Through Multi-Task Learning". We propose a single-image deblurring network that incorporates the two sub-aperture views into a multitask framework. Specifically, we show that jointly learning to predict the two DP views from a single blurry input image improves the network’s ability to learn to deblur the image. Our experiments show this multi-task strategy achieves +1dB PSNR improvement over state-of-the-art defocus deblurring methods. In addition, our multi-task framework allows accurate DP-view synthesis (e.g., ~ 39dB PSNR) from the single input image. These high-quality DP views can be used for other DP-based applications, such as reflection removal. As part of this effort, we have captured a new dataset of 7,059 high-quali
