Have you ever posed for group selfies and portraits just to find that your face got blurred out because you couldn’t stop laughing for a lame joke a friend of yours just cracked? I have and it is quite disheartening to see the results. To solve this problem, researchers from the Inception Institute of Artificial Intelligence, the Beijing Institute of Technology, and Stony Brook University have come up with an AI that could help deblur human faces in images.
As part of the research, the scientists created a dataset they call HIDE (Humanaware Image DEblurring). The HIDE dataset consists of 8,422 pairs of images extracted from a high-speed camera. Each pair contains a blurry image and its corresponding sharp image.
