ABSTRACT
Due to the fact that the degradation of image quality caused by rain usually affects outdoor vision tasks, image deraining becomes more and more important. Focusing on the single image deraining (SID) task, in this article, we propose a novel Contrastive Unfolding DEraining Network (CUDEN), which combines the traditional iterative algorithm and deep network, exhibiting excellent performance and nice interpretability. CUDEN transforms the challenge of locating rain streaks into discovering rain features and defines the relationship between the image and feature domains in terms of mapping pairs. To obtain the mapping pairs efficiently, we propose a dynamic multidomain translation (DMT) module for decomposing the original mapping into sub-mappings. To enhance the feature extraction capability of networks, we also propose a new serial multireceptive field fusion (SMF) block, which extracts complex and variable rain features with convolution kernels of different receptive fields. Moreover, we are the first to introduce contrastive learning to the SID task and combine it with perceptual loss to propose a new contrastive perceptual loss (CPL), which is quite generalized and greatly helpful in identifying the appropriate gradient descent direction during training. Extensive experiments on synthetic and real-world datasets demonstrate that our proposed CUDEN outperforms the state-of-the-art (SOTA) deraining networks.
