Abstract
Various examples are provided related to fingerphoto deblurring. In one example, a method includes generating, using a guided-attention (GA) mechanism, an intermediate feature map of a blurred image of a fingerprint and generating a deblurred image of the fingerprint based at least in part upon the intermediate feature map. The GA mechanism can generate the intermediate feature map by generating an attended feature map from an input feature map based upon a predicted attention map and adding the input feature map to the attended feature map. A system can include processing circuitry and a fingerphoto deblurring application that, when executed by the processing circuitry, causes the processing circuitry to generate the intermediate feature map and generate the deblurred image.
