Reflection Flow

Reflection flow, encompassing the study of light reflections and their dynamic behavior in various contexts, is a burgeoning research area aiming to improve the realism and efficiency of image generation and manipulation. Current research focuses on developing novel algorithms, such as diffusion models and mirror descent methods, to model and predict reflection patterns, particularly in challenging scenarios involving curved surfaces and complex lighting conditions. These advancements have implications for diverse applications, including realistic image compositing, reflection removal in photography, and enhancing the robustness of multimodal recommender systems by addressing challenges posed by noisy or incomplete data.
