Shadow removal from a single image is generally still an open problem. Most existing learning-based methods use supervised learning and require a large number of paired images (shadow and corresponding non-shadow images) for training. A…
We propose a novel Retinex image-decomposition network that can be trained in a self-supervised manner. The Retinex image-decomposition aims to decompose an image into illumination-invariant and illumination-variant components, referred to…
Nighttime image dehazing remains a challenging low-level vision problem due to the joint presence of haze, glow, non-uniform illumination, color distortion, and sensor noise, which often invalidate assumptions commonly used in daytime…
This work studies the joint rain and haze removal problem. In real-life scenarios, rain and haze, two often co-occurring common weather phenomena, can greatly degrade the clarity and quality of the scene images, leading to a performance…
