• Abstract summary: UnfairGAN is an enhanced generative adversarial network that can utilize prior high-level information, such as edges and rain estimation, to boost deraining performance. We show that our proposed method is superior to other state-of-the-art approaches of deraining raindrops regarding quantitative metrics and visual quality.

• Abstract: Image deraining is a new challenging problem in real-world applications, such as autonomous vehicles. In a bad weather condition of heavy rainfall, raindrops, mainly hitting glasses or windshields, can significantly reduce observation ability. Moreover, raindrops spreading over the glass can yield refraction's physical effect, which seriously impedes the sightline or undermine machine learning systems. In this paper, we propose an enhanced generative adversarial network to deal with the challenging problems of raindrops. UnfairGAN is an enhanced generative adversarial network that can utilize prior high-level information, such as edges and rain estimation, to boost deraining performance. To demonstrate UnfairGAN, we introduce a large dataset for training deep learning models of rain removal. The experimental results show that our proposed method is superior to other state-of-the-art approaches of deraining raindrops regarding quantitative metrics and visual quality.

  This study proposes a novel deep learning based rain generator, which fully takes the physical generation mechanism underlying rains into consideration. Its significance lies in that the generator not only elaborately design essential elements of the rain to simulate expected rains, but also finely adapt to complicated and diverse practical rainy images. Our unpaired generation experiments demonstrate that the rain generated by the proposed rain generator is not only of higher quality, but also more effective for deraining and downstream tasks.

We also propose a degradation-conditioned diffusion model that refines the desired output via a diffusive generative process conditioned by learned priors of multiple rain degradations.

In particular, we design a factor-aware rain generation that synthesizes rain streaks according to the camera exposure process. We also present a defensive deraining strategy, for which we design an adversarial rain augmentation that uses mixed adversarial rain layers.
