Low-light video deblurring poses significant challenges in applications like nighttime surveillance and autonomous driving due to dim lighting and long exposures. While event cameras offer potential solutions with superior low-light sensitivity and high temporal resolution, existing fusion methods typically employ staged strategies, limiting their effectiveness against combined low-light and motion blur degradations. To overcome this, we propose CompEvent, a complex neural network framework enabling holistic full-process fusion of event data and RGB frames for enhanced joint restoration. CompEvent features two core components: 1) Complex Temporal Alignment GRU, which utilizes complex-valued convolutions and processes video and event streams iteratively via GRU to achieve temporal alignment and continuous fusion; and 2) Complex Space-Frequency Learning module, which performs unified complex-valued signal processing in both spatial and frequency domains, facilitating deep fusion through spatial structures and system-level characteristics. By leveraging the holistic representation capability of complex-valued neural networks, CompEvent achieves full-process spatiotemporal fusion, maximizes complementary learning between modalities, and significantly strengthens low-light video deblurring capability. Extensive experiments demonstrate that CompEvent outperforms SOTA methods in addressing this challenging task.

Event cameras, which capture pixel-level brightness changes asynchronously, provide rich motion information that is often missed during traditional frame-based camera exposures, thereby offering fresh perspectives for motion deblurring. Although current approaches incorporate event intensity, they neglect essential spatial motion information. Unlike their CNN architectures, Transformers excel in modeling long-range dependencies but struggle with establishing relevant non-local connections in sparse events and fail to highlight significant interactions in dense images. To address these limitations, we introduce a Motion-Adaptive Transformer network (MAT) that utilizes spatial motion information to forge robust global connections. The core design is an Adaptive Motion Mask Predictor (AMMP) that identifies key motion regions, guiding the Motion-Sparse Attention (MSA) to eliminate irrelevant event tokens and enabling the Motion-Aware Attention (MAA) to focus on relevant ones, thereby enhancing long-range dependency modeling. Additionally, we elaborately design a Cross-Modal Intensity Gating mechanism that efficiently merges intensity data across modalities while minimizing parameter use. The learnable Expansion-Controlled Spatial Gating further optimizes the transmission of event features. Comprehensive testing confirms that our approach sets a new benchmark in image deblurring, surpassing previous methods by up to 0.60dB on the GoPro dataset, 1.04dB on the HS-ERGB dataset, and achieving an average improvement of 0.52dB across two real-world datasets.
