We present DeblurGAN, an end-to-end learned method for motion deblurring. The learning is based on a conditional GAN and the content loss . DeblurGAN achieves state-of-the art performance both in the structural similarity measure and visual appearance. The quality of the deblurring model is also evaluated in a novel way on a real-world problem -object detection on (de-)blurred images. The method is 5 times faster than the closest competitor -Deep-Deblur [25]. We also introduce a novel method for generating synthetic motion blurred images from sharp ones, allowing realistic dataset augmentation.The model, code and the dataset are available at

We present a new end-to-end generative adversarial network (GAN) for single image motion deblurring, named DeblurGAN-v2, which considerably boosts state-of-the-art deblurring efficiency, quality, and flexibility. DeblurGAN-v2 is based on a relativistic conditional GAN with a doublescale discriminator. For the first time, we introduce the Feature Pyramid Network into deblurring, as a core building block in the generator of DeblurGAN-v2. It can flexibly work with a wide range of backbones, to navigate the balance between performance and efficiency. The plugin of sophisticated backbones (e.g., Inception-ResNet-v2) can lead to solid state-of-the-art deblurring. Meanwhile, with light-weight backbones (e.g., MobileNet and its variants), DeblurGAN-v2 reaches 10-100 times faster than the nearest competitors, while maintaining close to state-ofthe-art results, implying the option of real-time video deblurring. We demonstrate that DeblurGAN-v2 obtains very competitive performance on several popular benchmarks, in terms of deblurring quality (both objective and subjective), as well as efficiency. Besides, we show the architecture to be effective for general image restoration tasks too. Our codes, models and data are available at: https: //github.com/KupynOrest/DeblurGANv2.

We present FEAR, a novel, fast, efficient, accurate, and robust Siamese visual tracker. We introduce an architecture block for object model adaption, called dual-template representation, and a pixel-wise fusion block to achieve extra flexibility and efficiency of the model. The dualtemplate module incorporates temporal information with only a single learnable parameter, while the pixel-wise fusion block encodes more discriminative features with fewer parameters compared to standard correlation modules. By plugging-in sophisticated backbones with the novel modules, FEAR-M and FEAR-L trackers surpass most Siamese trackers on several academic benchmarks in both accuracy and efficiency. Employed with the lightweight backbone, the optimized version FEAR-XS offers more than 10 times faster tracking than current Siamese trackers while maintaining near state-of-the-art results. FEAR-XS tracker is 2.4x smaller and 4.3x faster than LightTrack [62] with superior accuracy. In addition, we expand the definition of the model efficiency by introducing a benchmark on energy consumption and execution speed. Source code, pretrained models, and evaluation protocol will be made available upon request.

Figure 1: The examples of the predictions on the test set. Our model is able to correctly detect tigers even in complex scenarios and occlusions with a relatively small number of false positives. AbstractThe highest accuracy object detectors to date are based either on a two-stage approach such as Fast R-CNN [9] or one-stage detectors such as or SSD [19] with deep and complex backbones. In this paper we present TigerNet -simple yet efficient FPN based network architecture for Amur Tiger Detection in the wild. The model has 600k parameters, requires 0.071 GFLOPs per image and can run on the edge devices (smart cameras) in near real time. In addition, we introduce a two-stage semi-supervised learning via pseudo-labelling learning approach to distill the knowledge from the larger networks [12] [2]. For ATRW-ICCV 2019 tiger detection sub-challenge, based on public leaderboard score, our approach shows superior performance in comparison to other methods.
