Your blurry images from burst shots can be saved
The burst shot has become a mainstay of smartphone photography. When you’re trying to capture someone playing a sport, pets playing, or a portrait of a family with kids, burst mode can be a lifesaver. It’s unfortunate, though, that so many burst shots end up being blurry and unusable. Luckily, a pair of researchers at MIT are working on a way to fix that problem.
In the paper “Burst Image Deblurring Using Permutation Invariant Convolutional Neural Networks,” published at ECCV 2018, Miika Aittila and Frédo Durand describe a way to reduce the blur in a burst shot using a neural network.
“Motion blur and noise remain a significant problem in photography despite advances in light efficiency of digital imaging devices,” the research paper explains. “Mobile phone cameras are particularly s...
