Restoration of motion-blurred objects is a topic much less frequently addressed in the literature compared to general image or video deblurring. We are interested in a particular phenomenon, which we call fast moving objects (FMO) – objects that travel large distance during single frame exposure time and are therefore heavily blurred. We tackle two connected problems:

• Recovering the FMO appearance, shape and trajectory from a single image - Deblatting (deblurring and matting)
• Tracking FMOs in videos - Tracking by Deblatting
