Defocus blur detection aims at separating regions on focus from out-of-focus for image processing. With today's popularity of mobile phones with portrait mode, accurate defocus blur detection has received more and more attention. There are many challenges that we currently confront, such as blur boundaries of defocus regions, interference of messy backgrounds and identification of large flat regions. To address these issues, in this paper, we propose a new deep neural network with both global and local pathways for defocus blur detection. In global pathway, we locate the objects on focus by semantical search. In local pathway, we refine the predicted blur regions via multi-scale supervisions. In addition, the refined results in local pathway are fused with searching results in global pathway by a simple concatenation operation. The structure of our new network is developed in a feasible way and its function appears to be quite effective and efficient, which is suitable for the deployment on mobile devices. It takes about 0.2s per image on a regular personal laptop. Experiments on both CUHK dataset and our newly proposed Defocus400 dataset show that our model outperforms existing state-of-the-art methods. |
