• Abstract summary: We present a novel two-stage network with reflection-aware guidance (RAGNet) for single image reflection removal (SIRR) RAG can be used (i) to mitigate the effect of reflection from the observation, and (ii) to generate mask in partial convolution for mitigating the effect of deviating from linear combination hypothesis. Experiments on five commonly used datasets demonstrate the quantitative and qualitative superiority of our RAGNet in comparison to the state-of-the-art SIRR methods.

• Abstract: Removing undesired reflection from an image captured through a glass surface is a very challenging problem with many practical application scenarios. For improving reflection removal, cascaded deep models have been usually adopted to estimate the transmission in a progressive manner. However, most existing methods are still limited in exploiting the result in prior stage for guiding transmission estimation. In this paper, we present a novel two-stage network with reflection-aware guidance (RAGNet) for single image reflection removal (SIRR). To be specific, the reflection layer is firstly estimated due to that it generally is much simpler and is relatively easier to estimate. Reflectionaware guidance (RAG) module is then elaborated for better exploiting the estimated reflection in predicting transmission layer. By incorporating feature maps from the estimated reflection and observation, RAG can be used (i) to mitigate the effect of reflection from the observation, and (ii) to generate mask in partial convolution for mitigating the effect of deviating from linear combination hypothesis. A dedicated mask loss is further presented for reconciling the contributions of encoder and decoder features. Experiments on five commonly used datasets demonstrate the quantitative and qualitative superiority of our RAGNet in comparison to the state-of-the-art SIRR methods.

  Existing methods rely on a large amount of light-stage captured data to learn facial reflectance models. We learn the reflectance prior in image space rather than UV space and present a framework named ID2Reflectance. Our framework can directly estimate the reflectance maps of a single image while using limited reflectance data for training.
