• Abstract summary: Deep learning approaches in removing atmospheric particles such as snow and rain from a single image; favors their usage over classical ones. However, deep learning-based approaches still suffer from challenges related to the particle appearance characteristics such as size, type, and transparency. In this paper, a global framework that consists of two Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) is proposed where each handles the removal of each particle individually.

• Abstract: The superior performance introduced by deep learning approaches in removing atmospheric particles such as snow and rain from a single image; favors their usage over classical ones. However, deep learning-based approaches still suffer from challenges related to the particle appearance characteristics such as size, type, and transparency. Furthermore, due to the unique characteristics of rain and snow particles, single network based deep learning approaches struggle in handling both degradation scenarios simultaneously. In this paper, a global framework that consists of two Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) is proposed where each handles the removal of each particle individually. The architectures of both desnowing and deraining GANs introduce the integration of a feature extraction phase with the classical U-net generator network which in turn enhances the removal performance in the presence of severe variations in size and appearance. Furthermore, a realistic dataset that contains pairs of snowy images next to their groundtruth images estimated using a low-rank approximation approach; is presented. The experiments show that the proposed desnowing and deraining approaches achieve significant improvements in comparison to the state-of-the-art approaches when tested on both synthetic and realistic datasets.

  We present a new paradigm for video desnowing in a semi-supervised spirit to involve unlabeled real data for the generalizable snow removal. Specifically, we construct a real-world dataset with 85 snowy videos, and then present a Semi-supervised Video Desnowing Network (SemiVDN) equipped by a novel Distribution-driven Contrastive Regularization. The elaborated contrastive regularizations mitigate the distribution gap between the synthetic and real data, and consequently maintains the desired snow-invariant background details.

  We propose RainyScape, an unsupervised framework for reconstructing clean scenes from a collection of multi-view rainy images. Based on the spectral bias property of neural networks, we first optimize the neural rendering pipeline to obtain a low-frequency scene representation. We jointly optimize the two modules, driven by the proposed adaptive direction-sensitive gradient-based reconstruction loss.

  We introduce Deceptive-NeRF/3DGS to enhance sparse-view reconstruction with only a limited set of input images. Specifically, we propose a deceptive diffusion model turning noisy images rendered from few-view reconstructions into high-quality pseudo-observations. Our system progressively incorporates diffusion-generated pseudo-observations into the training image sets, ultimately densifying the sparse input observations by 5 to 10 times.

  We propose RainDiff, the first real-world image deraining paradigm based on diffusion models.

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.
