PRISM method uses VAE latent space for improved single-image reflection removal

Researchers have developed PRISM, a novel method for single-image reflection removal that operates within the latent space of a pretrained variational auto-encoder (VAE). By treating reflection removal as a latent linear separation problem, PRISM leverages a flow matching velocity field on a FLUX backbone to disentangle transmission and reflection layers. The method incorporates Latent Composition Consistency (LCC) and Layer Contrastive Separation (LCS) losses to improve disentanglement and semantic separation, demonstrating superior performance and generalization across multiple benchmarks. AI

IMPACT This method could improve image quality in applications where reflections are a problem, such as autonomous driving or augmented reality.

    PRISM: Latent Composition Consistency for Single-Image Reflection Removal

    Single-image reflection removal (SIRR) seeks to recover the transmission layer from a mixture corrupted by reflections -- a severely ill-posed problem. Existing methods operate in pixel space, where the nonlinear sRGB formation model entangles the two layers and limits generaliza…
