Flare Removal

9 papers with code • 1 benchmarks • 1 datasets

When a camera is pointed at a strong light source, the resulting photograph may contain lens flare artifacts. Flares appear in a wide variety of patterns (halos, streaks, color bleeding, haze, etc.) and this diversity in appearance makes flare removal challenging.

How to Train Neural Networks for Flare Removal

google-research/google-research ICCV 2021

When a camera is pointed at a strong light source, the resulting photograph may contain lens flare artifacts.

Light Source Guided Single-Image Flare Removal From Unpaired Data

tanmayj2020/LightSourceGuideSingleImageFlareRemoval-ICCV2021 ICCV 2021

In particular, we first detect the light source regions and the flare regions separately, and then remove the flare artifacts based on the light source aware guidance.

Automatic Flare Spot Artifact Detection and Removal in Photographs

pvitoria/SpotFlareDetection 7 Mar 2021

Flare spot is one type of flare artifact caused by a number of conditions, frequently provoked by one or more high-luminance sources within or close to the camera field of view.

Flare7K: A Phenomenological Nighttime Flare Removal Dataset

ykdai/Flare7K 12 Oct 2022

In this paper, we introduce, Flare7K, the first nighttime flare removal dataset, which is generated based on the observation and statistics of real-world nighttime lens flares.

Improving Lens Flare Removal with General-Purpose Pipeline and Multiple Light Sources Recovery

yuyanzhou1/improving-lens-flare-removal ICCV 2023

In this paper, we propose a solution to improve the performance of lens flare removal by revisiting the ISP and remodeling the principle of automatic exposure in the synthesis pipeline and design a more reliable light sources recovery strategy.
