• Abstract summary: CNN-based methods for image deraining have achieved excellent performance in terms of reconstruction error as well as visual quality. Due to challenges in obtaining real world fully-labeled image deraining datasets, existing methods are trained only on synthetically generated data. We propose a Gaussian Process-based semi-supervised learning framework which enables the network in learning to derain using synthetic dataset.

• Abstract: Recent CNN-based methods for image deraining have achieved excellent performance in terms of reconstruction error as well as visual quality. However, these methods are limited in the sense that they can be trained only on fully labeled data. Due to various challenges in obtaining real world fully-labeled image deraining datasets, existing methods are trained only on synthetically generated data and hence, generalize poorly to real-world images. The use of real-world data in training image deraining networks is relatively less explored in the literature. We propose a Gaussian Process-based semi-supervised learning framework which enables the network in learning to derain using synthetic dataset while generalizing better using unlabeled real-world images. Through extensive experiments and ablations on several challenging datasets (such as Rain800, Rain200H and DDN-SIRR), we show that the proposed method, when trained on limited labeled data, achieves on-par performance with fully-labeled training. Additionally, we demonstrate that using unlabeled real-world images in the proposed GP-based framework results in superior performance as compared to existing methods.

  We analyze the relationship between the training effect of synthetic data and the synthetic data distribution induced by prompts. We propose a simple yet effective method that prompts text-to-image generative models to synthesize more informative and diverse training data. Our method significantly improves the performance of models trained on synthetic training data.

  We propose a novel image dehazing framework collaborating with unlabeled real data.

Then a disentangled-consistency mean-teacher network (DMT-Net) is employed to collaborate unlabeled real data for boosting single image dehazing.

  We introduce a novel method to build a training set of pseudo-real images that can be used to train optical flow in a supervised manner. Our dataset uses two unpaired frames from real data and creates pairs of frames by simulating random warps. We thus obtain the benefit of directly training on real data while having access to an exact ground truth.
