NTIRE 2025 Challenge on Event-Based Image Deblurring: Methods and Results

Abstract

This paper presents an overview of NTIRE 2025, the First Challenge on Event-Based Image Deblurring, detailing the proposed methodologies and corresponding results. The primary goal of the challenge is to design an event-based method that achieves high-quality image deblurring, with performance quantitatively assessed using Peak Signal-toNoise Ratio (PSNR). Notably, there are no restrictions on computational complexity or model size. The task focuses on leveraging both events and images as inputs for singleimage deblurring. A total of 199 participants registered, among whom 15 teams successfully submitted valid results, offering valuable insights into the current state of eventbased image deblurring. We anticipate that this challenge will drive further advancements in event-based vision research.
