contents For single image defocus deblurring, acquiring well-aligned training pairs (or training triplets), i.e., a defocus blurry image, an all-in-focus sharp image (and a defocus blur map), is a challenging task for developing effective deblurring models. Existing image defocus deblurring methods typically rely on training data collected by specialized imaging equipment, with the assumption that these pairs or triplets are perfectly aligned. However, in practical scenarios involving the collection of real-world data, direct acquisition of training triplets is infeasible, and training pairs inevitably encounter spatial misalignment issues. In this work, we introduce a reblurring-guided learning framework for single image defocus deblurring, enabling the learning of a deblurring network even with misaligned training pairs. By reconstructing spatially variant isotropic blur kernels, our reblurring module ensures spatial consistency between the deblurred image, the reblurred image and the input blurry image, thereby addressing the misalignment issue while effectively extracting sharp textures from the all-in-focus sharp image. Moreover, spatially variant blur can be derived from the reblurring module, and serve as pseudo supervision for defocus blur map during training, interestingly transforming training pairs into training triplets. To leverage this pseudo supervision, we propose a lightweight defocus blur estimator coupled with a fusion block, which enhances deblurring performance through seamless integration with state-of-the-art deblurring networks. Additionally, we have collected a new dataset for single image defocus deblurring (SDD) with typical misalignments, which not only validates our proposed method but also serves as a benchmark for future research.
