Efficient Real-World Deblurring using Single Images: AIM 2025 Challenge Report
This is an incremental challenge report for researchers in efficient image deblurring, focusing on benchmarking methods under computational limits.
The paper reviews a challenge to advance efficient real-world image deblurring using single images, where the top-performing method achieved a PSNR of 31.1298 dB under strict efficiency constraints.
This paper reviews the AIM 2025 Efficient Real-World Deblurring using Single Images Challenge, which aims to advance in efficient real-blur restoration. The challenge is based on a new test set based on the well known RSBlur dataset. Pairs of blur and degraded images in this dataset are captured using a double-camera system. Participant were tasked with developing solutions to effectively deblur these type of images while fulfilling strict efficiency constraints: fewer than 5 million model parameters and a computational budget under 200 GMACs. A total of 71 participants registered, with 4 teams finally submitting valid solutions. The top-performing approach achieved a PSNR of 31.1298 dB, showcasing the potential of efficient methods in this domain. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the challenge, compares the proposed solutions, and serves as a valuable reference for researchers in efficient real-world image deblurring.
