| 2023 | From Global to Local: Multi-Patch and Multi-Scale Contrastive Similarity Learning for Unsupervised Defocus Blur DetectionabstractDefocus blur detection (DBD), which aims to detect out-of-focus or in-focus pixels from a single image, has been widely applied to many vision tasks. To remove the limitation on the abundant pixel-level manual annotations, unsupervised DBD has attracted much attention in recent years. In this paper, a novel deep network named Multi-patch and Multi-scale Contrastive Similarity (M2CS) learning is proposed for unsupervised DBD. Specifically, the predicted DBD mask from a generator is first exploited to re-generate two composite images by transporting the estimated clear and unclear areas from the source image to realistic full-clear and full-blurred images, respectively. To encourage these two composite images to be completely in-focus or out-of-focus, a global similarity discriminator is exploited to measure the similarity of each pair in a contrastive way, through which each two positive samples (two clear images or two blurred images) are enforced to be close while each two negative samples (a clear image and a blurred image) are inversely far. Since the global similarity discriminator only focuses on the blur-level of a whole image and there do exist some fail-detected pixels which only cover a small part of areas, a set of local similarity discriminators are further designed to measure the similarity of image patches in multiple scales. Thanks to this joint global and local strategy, as well as the contrastive similarity learning, the two composite images are more efficiently moved to be all-clear or all-blurred. Experimental results on real-world datasets substantiate the superiority of our proposed method both in quantification and visualization.
