This repository contains the official implementation and experimental data of the ICCV2023 paper "Learning Rain Location Prior for Nighttime Deraining", by Fan Zhang, Shaodi You, Yu Li, Ying Fu.

Paper | Supp | Data

Update

• Recollect misaligned data.
• 2023.12.08: Code release.
• 2023.12.03: Initial release of experimental data.
• 2023.08.10: Repo created.

Dataset

The experimental data used in the paper is now publicly available at Kaggle. It is based on GTAV-NightRain dataset and increase the difficulty by enlarging the rain density.

In this new version, we collected 5000 rainy images paired with 500 clean images for the training set, and 500/100 for the test set. Each clean image corresponds to 10/5 rainy images. The image resolution is 1920x1080.

Note

Please note that this is the very data used in the experiments.

However, after checking carefully, we find that there exist a few scenes with misalignments due to operation mistakes during collection. We filter out these scenes and there's about 0.5dB improvement in PSNR, which applys to all evaluated methods.

We plan to re-collect and update these misaligned scenes and provide the updated quantitative results later.

Requirements

• Python 3.6.13
• Pytorch 1.10.2
• Cudatoolkit 11.3

You can refer to Uformer and MPRNet for detailed dependency list. Necessary list will be updated later.

Training

• Download the Dataset on Kaggle or prepare your own training dataset, then modify the --train_dir to corresponding directory.
• Train the model by simply run

bash train.sh

You can

• Select the Deraining Module (DM) by --arch, currently supporting UNet and Uformer_T.
• Enable the Rain Location Prior Module (RLP) by --use_rlp.
• Enable the Rain Prior Injection Module (RPIM) using --use_rpim, which is only considered when RLP is used.
• Check other options in rlp/options.py.

Evaluation

• Prepare your test images or simply test on the downloaded data, by running

bash test.sh

• Modify --input_dir to your /path/to/test/images and --result_dir for saving results.
• Modify --weights to the model checkpoint you have.
• Modify --model_name following the format of DM, DM_RLP or DM_RLP_RPIM according to the model, such as Uformer_T_RLP_RPIM when DM = 'Uformer_T', is_RLP = True, is_RPIM = True.
• Use --tile to enable tiling of large images for Uformer.

Metrics

To calculate PSNR and SSIM metrics, you can use the Matlab script

evaluate_PSNR_SSIM.m

or the Python version

python evaluate_PSNR_SSIM.py

The results produced by .py script are slightly different from the .m script.
