This dataset was primarily designed and captured to be used for the Helsinki Deblur Challenge 2021 but it can be used for any testing and benchmarking purposes of image deblurring algorithms. The dataset contains photographs ofrandom strings of text with varying levels of blur caused by misfocusing the camera. Each photo has both a blurred and sharp version. Why strings of text as targets? This is to enable quantitative measurement of deconvolution quality using an Optical Characted Recognition (OCR) algorithm in the Helsinki Deblur Challenge 2021. The images are split into 20 separate zip files according to the level of blur. Each one of thezip files contains twofolders, one for each of the different fonts used (Verdana and Times). In both font folders you find one folder named CAM1 (Camera 1) with the sharp images and one named CAM2 (Camera 2) with theblurred images. Each one of the CAM folders holds 100 images of the text targets and 3 images of technical targets for estimating the point spread function (PSF). Each one of the text target images is accompanied by a text file (same file name but.txt extension) containing the correct transcription of that particular text target. An example image with one sharp-blurredpair of each one of the focus stepsis also provided here for preview.
