• Abstract summary: We present a training-free, diffusion-based framework designed to generate realistic wildfire images with paired ground truth. Our framework uses augmented masks, sampled from real wildfire data, and applies Perlin noise to guide the generation of realistic flames. We evaluate the generated images using normalized Frechet Inception Distance, CLIP Score, and a custom CLIP Confidence metric.

• Abstract: Wildfires are a significant threat to ecosystems and human infrastructure, leading to widespread destruction and environmental degradation. Recent advancements in deep learning and generative models have enabled new methods for wildfire detection and monitoring. However, the scarcity of annotated wildfire images limits the development of robust models for these tasks. In this work, we present the FLAME Diffuser, a training-free, diffusion-based framework designed to generate realistic wildfire images with paired ground truth. Our framework uses augmented masks, sampled from real wildfire data, and applies Perlin noise to guide the generation of realistic flames. By controlling the placement of these elements within the image, we ensure precise integration while maintaining the original images style. We evaluate the generated images using normalized Frechet Inception Distance, CLIP Score, and a custom CLIP Confidence metric, demonstrating the high quality and realism of the synthesized wildfire images. Specifically, the fusion of Perlin noise in this work significantly improved the quality of synthesized images. The proposed method is particularly valuable for enhancing datasets used in downstream tasks such as wildfire detection and monitoring.

  Intense light sources often produce flares in captured images at night, which deteriorates the visual quality and negatively affects downstream applications. In order to train an effective flare removal network, a reliable dataset is essential. We synthesize a prior-guided dataset named Flare7K*, which contains multi-flare images where the brightness of flares adheres to the laws of illumination. We propose a plug-and-play Adaptive Focus Module (AFM) that can adaptively mask the clean background areas and assist models in focusing on the regions severely affected by flares.
