• Abstract: Reflections are very common phenomena in our daily photography, which distract people's attention from the scene behind the glass. The problem of removing reflection artifacts is important but challenging due to its ill-posed nature. The traditional approaches solve an optimization problem over the constraints induced from multiple images, at the expense of large computation costs. Recent learning-based approaches have demonstrated a significant improvement in both performance and running time for single image reflection removal, but are limited as they require a large number of synthetic reflection/clean image pairs for direct supervision to approximate the ground truth, at the risk of overfitting in the synthetic image domain and degrading in the real image domain. In this paper, we propose a novel learning-based solution that combines the advantages of the aforementioned approaches and overcomes their drawbacks. Our algorithm works by learning a deep neural network to optimize the target with joint constraints enhanced among multiple input images during the training phase, but is able to eliminate reflections only from a single input for evaluation. Our algorithm runs in real-time and achieves state-of-the-art reflection removal performance on real images. We further propose a strong network backbone that disentangles the background and reflection information into separate latent codes, which are embedded into a shared one-branch deep neural network for both background and reflection predictions. The proposed backbone experimentally performs better than the other common network implementations, and provides insightful knowledge to understand the reflection removal task.

• Towards Flexible Interactive Reflection Removal with Human Guidance [75.38207315080624]
  Single image reflection removal is inherently ambiguous, as both the reflection and transmission components requiring separation may follow natural image statistics. Existing methods attempt to address the issue by using various types of low-level and physics-based cues as sources of reflection signals. In this paper, we aim to explore a novel flexible interactive reflection removal approach that leverages various forms of sparse human guidance.
