Adaptive Language-Aware Image Reflection Removal Network

Prior dual-stream methods with the feature interaction mechanism have achieved remarkable performance in single image reflection removal (SIRR). However, they often struggle with (1) semantic understanding gap between the features of pre-trained models and those of reflection removal models, and (2) reflection label inconsistencies between synthetic and real-world training data. In this work, we first adopt the parameter efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) strategy by integrating several learnable Mona layers into the pre-trained model to align the training directions. Then, a label generator is designed to unify the reflection labels for both synthetic and real-world data. In addition, a Gaussian-based Adaptive Frequency Learning Block (G-AFLB) is proposed to adaptively learn and fuse the frequency priors, and a Dynamic Agent Attention (DAA) is employed as an alternative to window-based attention by dynamically modeling the significance levels across windows (inter-) and within an individual window (intra-). These components constitute our proposed Gap-Free Reflection Removal Network (GFRRN). Extensive experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of our GFRRN, achieving superior performance against state-of-the-art SIRR methods.

Single-image reflection removal (SIRR) aims to recover the clean transmission layer from a reflection-contaminated image. Although recent methods achieve promising results with large diffusion models, they rely on image-agnostic adaptation strategies, e.g., fine-tuning or ControlNet, that enforce uniform suppression regardless of reflection severity. As a result, heavy reflections often leave residuals, while weak ones suffer from detail loss. To this end, we propose ReLo-IRR, a reflection-guided LoRA framework built upon the rectified flow model. First, a lightweight estimator is designed to predict the reflection strength descriptor, providing an explicit prior of reflection dominance for each image and enabling image-dependent LoRA modulation. Second, we introduce a time-conditioned mechanism that fuses this reflection descriptor with timestep embeddings, enabling LoRA modulation to evolve consistently with the coarse-to-fine denoising process. By jointly modeling reflection strength and denoising dynamics, our ReLo-IRR achieves robust suppression of diverse reflection conditions. Extensive experiments on challenging benchmarks validate the effectiveness of ReLo-IRR, demonstrating superior dereflection performance and robust generalization. The code is released at https://github.com/KONGBAI-8080/ReLo-IRR.

Single-image reflection removal aims to recover a clean transmission layer from one image captured through glass. We study an explicit decomposition pipeline built on RDNet and introduce LowAux, a training-only low-pass reflection auxiliary objective. The original residual target remains the main reflection supervision, while symmetrically filtered prediction and target provide a stable low-frequency constraint. We further incorporate scene-balanced real pairs from RRW to broaden real-scene coverage and improve cross-dataset generalization. To avoid evaluation discrepancies caused by model-specific resizing, padding, output quantization, and metric code, we build a unified public benchmark over CEILNet, Real20, Postcard, Objects, and Wild. Under the same evaluator, the proposed system obtains a five-dataset macro average of 27.546 dB PSNR, 0.9220 SSIM, 0.9751 NCC, and 0.004760 LMSE, achieving the highest macro-average PSNR, SSIM, and NCC and the lowest LMSE among the compared public checkpoints and internal variants. Per-dataset and qualitative analyses show that the main benefit is a more balanced performance across diverse reflection distributions, while clear semantic reflections in Postcard remain challenging.
