Images captured in a real scene usually suffer from complex non-uniform degradation, which includes both global and local blurs. It is difficult to handle the complex blur variances by a unified processing model. We propose a global-local blur disentangling network, which can effectively extract global and local blur features via two branches. A phased training scheme is designed to disentangle the global and local blur features, that is the branches are trained with task-specific datasets, respectively. A branch attention mechanism is introduced to dynamically fuse global and local features. Complex blurry images are used to train the attention module and the reconstruction module. The visualized feature maps of different branches indicated that our dual-branch network can decouple the global and local blur features efficiently. Experimental results show that the proposed dual-branch blur disentangling network can improve both the subjective and objective deblurring effects for real captured images.
