Most of the existing raindrop removal methods focus on learning the mapping from a raindrop image to its clean content by training with the paired raindrop-clean images. However, the paired real-world images are difficult to collect in practice. This thesis presents a novel framework for raindrop removal that eliminates the need for paired training samples. Based on the assumption that a raindrop image is the composition of a clean image and a raindrop style, the proposed framework decomposes a raindrop image into a clean content image and a raindrop-style latent code and composes a clean content image and a raindrop style code to a raindrop image for data augmentation. The proposed framework introduces a domain-invariant residual block to facilitate the identity mapping for the clean portion of the raindrop image. Extensive experiments on real-world raindrop datasets show that our network can achieve superior performance in raindrop removal to other unpaired image-to-image translation methods, even with comparable performance with state-of-the-art methods that require paired images. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10356/160029 | DOI: | 10.32657/10356/160029 | Schools: | School of Computer Science and Engineering | Organisations: | NCS Pte Ltd | Rights: | This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International License (CC BY-NC 4.0). | Fulltext Permission: | open | Fulltext Availability: | With Fulltext |
