• Abstract: Real-world vision tasks frequently suffer from the appearance of unexpected adverse weather conditions, including rain, haze, snow, and raindrops. In the last decade, convolutional neural networks and vision transformers have yielded outstanding results in single-weather video removal. However, due to the absence of appropriate adaptation, most of them fail to generalize to other weather conditions. Although ViWS-Net is proposed to remove adverse weather conditions in videos with a single set of pre-trained weights, it is seriously blinded by seen weather at train-time and degenerates when coming to unseen weather during test-time. In this work, we introduce test-time adaptation into adverse weather removal in videos, and propose the first framework that integrates test-time adaptation into the iterative diffusion reverse process. Specifically, we devise a diffusion-based network with a novel temporal noise model to efficiently explore frame-correlated information in degraded video clips at training stage. During inference stage, we introduce a proxy task named Diffusion Tubelet Self-Calibration to learn the primer distribution of test video stream and optimize the model by approximating the temporal noise model for online adaptation. Experimental results, on benchmark datasets, demonstrate that our Test-Time Adaptation method with Diffusion-based network(Diff-TTA) outperforms state-of-the-art methods in terms of restoring videos degraded by seen weather conditions. Its generalizable capability is also validated with unseen weather conditions in both synthesized and real-world videos.

  We introduce a general paired-training method that leads to improved performance on images in adverse weather conditions. We create the first semantic segmentation dataset with accurate clear and adverse weather image pairs. We find that training on these paired clear and adverse weather frames which share an underlying scene results in improved performance on adverse weather data.

  In autonomous driving scenarios, current object detection models show strong performance when tested in clear weather. We propose Domain-Incremental Learning through Activation Matching (DILAM) to adapt only the affine parameters of a clear weather pre-trained network to different weather conditions. Our memory bank is extremely lightweight, since affine parameters account for less than 2% of a typical object detector.

  Convolutional neural network (CNN) have proven its success for semantic segmentation, which is a core task of emerging industrial applications such as autonomous driving. In practical applications, the outdoor weather and illumination are changeable, e.g., cloudy and nighttime, which results in a significant drop of semantic segmentation accuracy of CNN only trained with daytime data. We propose a novel generative adversarial network (namely Mutual-GAN) to alleviate the accuracy decline when daytime-trained neural network is applied to videos captured under adverse weather conditions.
