Motion blur arises from the temporal integration of a continuous sharp signal over a finite exposure window, yet existing learning-based methods sidestep this physical model and predict only the sharp signal itself: most single-image deblurring methods recover a single frame at the exposure center, while blur-to-video methods predict a fixed set of frames. We introduce PickMoment, a continuous-time reformulation that directly learns the interval-mean blur over arbitrary sub-intervals of the exposure with a single deterministic model. Drawing an analogy to MeanFlow's average-velocity formulation, we train the model with three supervisions derived from the blur integral: an empirical reconstruction loss from available subframes, an additivity loss that enforces self-consistency across overlapping sub-intervals, and a sharp-frame loss anchored at the zero-interval limit. A single trained model unifies single-image deblurring, blur-to-video generation, and continuous-time pick-a-moment recovery as different queries to the same network, with no separate training for each task. Our PickMoment achieves state-of-the-art performance among generative-based deblurring methods on GoPro and HIDE while competitive against restoration-based methods on RealBlur, and the highest per-frame fidelity on GoPro-7 blur-to-video, all in a single forward pass without iterative sampling.

原文摘要
Recent advances in deep learning for shadow removal have significantly enhanced image quality and realism. However, most approaches rely on real-world paired datasets, which are costly to collect and often limited in scene diversity, leading to limited generalization. To address these limitations, we propose One-step Deshadow Diffusion via Reward guidance (ODDR), a new framework that achieves efficient and high-fidelity shadow removal without relying on real-world paired supervision. Our method begins with One-step Deshadow Diffusion (ODD), a baseline model trained on synthetic shadow data for efficient one-step shadow-free reconstruction. We further adapt ODD into ODDR using ShadowReward. In contrast to traditional, annotation-heavy approaches, ShadowReward is the first reward model for shadow removal trained entirely without human annotation. It learns to mimic human perceptual judgments by ranking synthetically generated images with controlled degradations, such as texture distortion and boundary artifacts. This reward-guided fine-tuning enables ODDR to close the synthetic-to-real domain gap. Extensive experiments show that ODD achieves strong performance without relying on real-world paired supervision, and ODDR further improves the results, narrowing the gap to fully supervised methods trained on real-world paired data while maintaining higher computational efficiency as a single-step model.
