Researchers use AI to deblur human faces in photos
In January 2020, researchers from the Inception Institute of Artificial Intelligence, Beijing Institute of Technology, and Stony Brook University developed an AI system capable of deblurring human faces in photos. The model employs a human-aware approach, distinguishing between foreground and background blurs by utilizing masks to separate them. Trained on the Human-aware Image Deblurring (HIDE) dataset and supplemented with GoPro footage, the AI demonstrated superior performance compared to existing motion deblurring methods, effectively restoring sharp facial features in dynamic scenes.
