| contents | In recent times, diffusion models have achieved remarkable performance in image restoration tasks. Their core mechanism relies on the restricted presumption of degradation prior to the additive noise operation. However, the blur model, one of the most widely studied degradation formulations, violates this assumption, as it is inherently based on convolution rather than addition. In this paper, we introduce ConvDiff, a novel diffusion based framework that substitutes the additive operation with convolution for the task of image deblurring. In the forward process, we construct a meaningful trajectory from the clean image to its blurred counterpart by exploiting the frequency domain characteristics of convolution, rather than progressively corrupting the image with additive noise. While the current work instantiates this framework for Gaussian blur, where frequency-domain decomposition yields closed-form and physically valid intermediate states, the underlying principle of constructing degradation trajectories from the blur operator extends naturally to other blur families. This formulation bridges the gap between the mathematical principles of blurring and the iterative design of diffusion-based restoration algorithms, enabling more physically grounded and effective image restoration models. |
