• Abstract: Removing reflection from a single image is challenging due to the absence of general reflection priors. Although existing methods incorporate extensive user guidance for satisfactory performance, they often lack the flexibility to adapt user guidance in different modalities, and dense user interactions further limit their practicality. To alleviate these problems, this paper presents FIRM, a novel framework for Flexible Interactive image Reflection reMoval with various forms of guidance, where users can provide sparse visual guidance (e.g., points, boxes, or strokes) or text descriptions for better reflection removal. Firstly, we design a novel user guidance conversion module (UGC) to transform different forms of guidance into unified contrastive masks. The contrastive masks provide explicit cues for identifying reflection and transmission layers in blended images. Secondly, we devise a contrastive mask-guided reflection removal network that comprises a newly proposed contrastive guidance interaction block (CGIB). This block leverages a unique cross-attention mechanism that merges contrastive masks with image features, allowing for precise layer separation. The proposed framework requires only 10\% of the guidance time needed by previous interactive methods, which makes a step-change in flexibility. Extensive results on public real-world reflection removal datasets validate that our method demonstrates state-of-the-art reflection removal performance.

  Few-shot semantic segmentation (FSS) aims to segment objects of unseen classes in query images with only a few annotated support images. This paper proposes a fresh few-shot segmentation framework to mine the reflection invariance in a multi-view matching manner. Experiments on both PASCAL-$5textiti$ and COCO-$20textiti$ datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach.
