• Abstract summary: Single image deraining (SID) in real scenarios attracts increasing attention in recent years. Previous real datasets suffer from low-resolution images, homogeneous rain streaks, limited background variation, and even misalignment of image pairs. We establish a new high-quality dataset named RealRain-1k, consisting of $1,120$ high-resolution paired clean and rainy images with low- and high-density rain streaks, respectively.

• Abstract: Single image deraining (SID) in real scenarios attracts increasing attention in recent years. Due to the difficulty in obtaining real-world rainy/clean image pairs, previous real datasets suffer from low-resolution images, homogeneous rain streaks, limited background variation, and even misalignment of image pairs, resulting in incomprehensive evaluation of SID methods. To address these issues, we establish a new high-quality dataset named RealRain-1k, consisting of $1,120$ high-resolution paired clean and rainy images with low- and high-density rain streaks, respectively. Images in RealRain-1k are automatically generated from a large number of real-world rainy video clips through a simple yet effective rain density-controllable filtering method, and have good properties of high image resolution, background diversity, rain streaks variety, and strict spatial alignment. RealRain-1k also provides abundant rain streak layers as a byproduct, enabling us to build a large-scale synthetic dataset named SynRain-13k by pasting the rain streak layers on abundant natural images. Based on them and existing datasets, we benchmark more than 10 representative SID methods on three tracks: (1) fully supervised learning on RealRain-1k, (2) domain generalization to real datasets, and (3) syn-to-real transfer learning. The experimental results (1) show the difference of representative methods in image restoration performance and model complexity, (2) validate the significance of the proposed datasets for model generalization, and (3) provide useful insights on the superiority of learning from diverse domains and shed lights on the future research on real-world SID. The datasets will be released at https://github.com/hiker-lw/RealRain-1k

  We construct a Large-scale High-quality Paired real rain benchmark (LHP-Rain), including 3000 video sequences with 1 million high-resolution (1920*1080) frame pairs. The advantages of the proposed dataset are three-fold: rain with higher-diversity and larger-scale, image with higher-resolution and higher-quality ground-truth.

  Rain in the dark poses a significant challenge to deploying real-world applications such as autonomous driving, surveillance systems, and night photography. Existing low-light enhancement or deraining methods struggle to brighten low-light conditions and remove rain simultaneously. We introduce an end-to-end model called L$2$RIRNet, designed to manage both low-light enhancement and deraining in real-world settings.
