I am attempting to post-process a video in OpenCV. The problem is that the GoPro video is very blurry, even with a high frame rate.

Is there any way that I can remove blur? I've heard about deinterlacing, but don't know if this applies to a GoPro 3+, or where even to begin.

Any help is appreciated.

    You probably need more light in your acquisition environment. Can you achieve that? Otherwise removing blur it's a fairly difficult problem http://stackoverflow.com/a/15104322/2436175 – Antonio Apr 01 '15 at 21:15
  • I actually don't think my lighting is terrible. It will be tough to add more, but it is possible. However, I'm surprised by how much blur I am seeing even at 60 fps on a go pro (action can). – P3d0r Apr 02 '15 at 01:22
  • Do you get blurry video even in bright sunlight without moving the subject and/or camera? Then I’d rather think that your hardware is not ok (e.g., scratches or moisture on lense). – Chriki Dec 31 '15 at 12:11

You can record at a high frame rate to remove any blur, also make sure you are recording with enough natural light, so recording outdoors is recommended.

Look at this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nU2_ERC_oE

At 30 fps, there is some blur in the car, but at 60fps the blur is non existant, just doubling the FPS can do some good. Since you have a HERO3+ you can record 720p 60 and that will remove the blur. WVGA 120fps can also do some justice (example is 1080p but still applies)
