RT Journal Article T1 2HDED:NET for joint depth estimation and image deblurring from a single out-of-focus image A1 Nazir, Saqib A1 Vaquero Otal, Lorenzo A1 Mucientes Molina, Manuel A1 Brea Sánchez, Víctor Manuel A1 Coltuc, Daniela K1 Depth from Defocus K1 Image Deblurring K1 Deep Learning AB Depth estimation and all-in-focus image restoration from defocused RGB images are related problems, although most of the existing methods address them separately. The few approaches that solve both problems use a pipeline processing to derive a depth or defocus map as an intermediary product that serves as a support for image deblurring, which remains the primary goal. In this paper, we propose a new Deep Neural Network (DNN) architecture that performs in parallel the tasks of depth estimation and image deblurring, by attaching them the same importance. Our Two-headed Depth Estimation and Deblurring Network (2HDED:NET) is an encoderdecoder network for Depth from Defocus (DFD) that is extended with a deblurring branch, sharing the same encoder. The network is tested on NYU-Depth V2 dataset and compared with several state-of-the-art methods for depth estimation and image deblurring.
