CEILNet

This is the implementation of ICCV 2017 paper "A Generic Deep Architecture for Single Image Reflection Removal and Image Smoothing" by Qingnan Fan et al..

Check my homepage for the paper, supplemental material and the other info.

Guess which is real and which is synthetic? teaser

Note

All the test images, trained codes, test codes, data generation codes and trained models of both reflection removal and image smoothing tasks are released here. The ground truth reflection and background layer of synthetic reflection images are also public.

Compilation

Our codes are implemented in Torch framework, before testing or training the models, you need to install the latest torch framework and compile the computeEdge.lua, ComputeXGrad.lua, ComputeYGrad.lua and L1Criterion.lua under the nn module, and compile adam_state.lua under optim module.

To be specific, the front 4 lua files have to be put in ./torch/extra/nn module directory, and editing init.lua file to include the corresponding file. Finally run the command under nn directory, luarocks make ./rocks/nn-scm-1.rockspec. Then nn module will be independently compiled. Accordingly, the adam lua file has to be put in ./torch/pkg/optim, edit the init.lua file and then run luarocks make optim-1.0.5-0.rockspec.

Data Generation

By generating the training or testing data of image smoothing tasks, you need to run existing edge-aware filters first, and split the training and testing data in different lists. An example is shown in "VOC2012_fullsize_L0_train.txt" and "VOC2012_fullsize_L0_test.txt". Note the images are trained on original image size without cropping or scaling.

Regarding the reflection removal task,

  1. The synthetic training data is generated on the fly, but beforehand you also need to split plenty of natural images with the same image size in different file lists as demonstrated in "VOC2012_224_train_png.txt" and "VOC2012_224_test_png.txt".
  2. The synthetic test images can be generated by "generate_data_reflection.lua".

Training

The trained models we use to evaluate the performance in the paper are also released here with name like "CEILNet_*.net".

Trained codes are lua files with the same format "training_*.lua". Note E-CNN and I-CNN can be trained in parallel, and are finetuned together afterwards.

Evaluation

Test images are in folder "testdata_reflection_real", "testdata_reflection_synthetic" and "testdata_smooth". To test the trained models, run "evaluation_reflection.lua" or "evaluation_smooth.lua".

ATTENTION

Our CNN dose not predict refletion layers. The following code computes approximate reflection layers by simply subtracting the predicted background layers from the input images. Note the result so-obtained may not reflect the image structure and appearance of the original reflection scene.

Note we comment the color correction codes for the reflection removal task since we observe better performance without this module, which however still works well for the image smoothing task. This is simply due to the dramatic difference between the color information of input and ground truth output images in the reflection removal task, which makes the alignment from predicted images to input images imprecise. Thanks Vandermode for pointing this out.

Without the color correction module, the numerical performance for the reflection removal task in Table 2 of the paper is improved from 18.55/0.857 (PSNR/SSIM) to 24.61/0.925. The synthetic images employed in Table 2 are uploaded in the "testdata_reflection_synthetic_table2" folder.

Additional tasks

Note our proposed CEILNET can be applied on a broad range of low-level vision tasks. We also upload the trained model on image denoising, inpainting (pixel interpolation). Our models are also able to achieve state-of-the-art performance on these tasks. You can further test our model on the uploaded test images.
