FMA-Net++: Motion- and Exposure-Aware Joint Video Super-Resolution and Deblurring

Joint video super-resolution and deblurring (VSRDB) requires both efficient long-range temporal modeling and robustness to frame-wise exposure-duration variation, which changes the extent of motion blur across video frames.

We propose FMA-Net++, a non-recurrent, sequence-level framework built from Hierarchical Refinement with Bidirectional Aggregation (HRBA) blocks.

By stacking HRBA blocks, FMA-Net++ processes video frames in parallel while hierarchically expanding the temporal receptive field, avoiding the limited temporal receptive field of sliding-window designs and the sequential bottleneck of recurrent ones.

To handle exposure-duration-dependent blur, we introduce an Exposure Time-aware Modulation (ETM) layer that conditions HRBA features on exposure embeddings from an Exposure Time-aware Feature Extractor (ETE).

The conditioned features guide an exposure-aware flow-guided dynamic filtering module to predict motion- and exposure-aware degradation kernels.

FMA-Net++ decouples degradation learning from restoration: the former predicts degradation priors and the latter exploits them for efficient high-resolution restoration.

To evaluate VSRDB under controlled exposure-duration variation, we introduce the REDS-ME (multi-exposure) and REDS-RE (random-exposure) benchmarks.

Trained solely on synthetic data, FMA-Net++ achieves state-of-the-art accuracy and temporal consistency on these benchmarks.

It further shows strong out-of-distribution performance on GoPro and challenging real-world videos, while outperforming recent methods in both restoration quality and inference speed.
