Researchers have introduced a new benchmark and a novel pipeline for the unified removal of raindrops and reflections in images. This problem, which significantly degrades visibility in images captured through glass surfaces on rainy days, has previously been inadequately addressed by existing models. The proposed solution includes a new dataset called RainDrop and ReFlection (RDRF) and a diffusion-based framework named DiffUR$^3$. Experiments show that DiffUR$^3$ achieves state-of-the-art performance on this benchmark and on real-world images. AI
IMPACT This research could improve image quality in challenging weather conditions, benefiting applications like autonomous driving and surveillance.
