Description

Visual distortions on images caused by bad weather conditions can have a negative impact on the performance of many outdoor vision systems. One often seen bad weather is rain which causes significant yet complex local intensity fluctuations in images. The paper aims at developing an effective algorithm to remove visual effects of rain from a single rain image,i.e. separate the rain layer and the derained image layer from a rain image. Built upon a nonlinear generative model of rain image, namely screen blend model, we propose a dictionary learning based algorithm for single image de-raining. The basic idea is to sparsely approximate the patches of two layers by very high discriminative codes over a learned dictionary with strong mutual exclusivity property. Such discriminative sparse codes lead to accurate separation of two layers from their non-linear composite. The experiments show that the proposed method outperforms the existing single image de-raining methods on tested rain images.
