Low-light enhancement and deblurring is vital for high-level vision-related nighttime tasks. Most existing cascade and joint enhancement methods may provide undesirable results, suffering from severe artifacts, deteriorating blur, and unclear details. In this paper, we propose a novel ambiguity-aware network (ASP-LED) with structural priors, including high-frequency and edge, to enable effective image representation learning for joint low-light enhancement and deblurring. Specifically, we employ a Transformer backbone to explore the global clues of the image. To compensate for the inadequate local detail optimization, we propose a multi-patch perception pyramid block that models the correlation between different size patches and ambiguity, and identifies non-uniform deblurring spatial features, facilitating the reconstruction of potential high-frequency and edge information. Furthermore, a prior-guided reconstruction block based on the parallel attention mechanism is present to adaptively correct global image with statistical features, which helps guide the model to refine sharp texture and structure. Extensive experiments performed on simulated and real-world datasets demonstrate the efficacy of our proposed method in restoring low-light blurry images with increased visual perception compared to state-of-the-art methods.
