Abstract: Rain removal plays an important role in the restoration of degraded images. Recently, CNN-based methods have achieved remarkable success. However, these approaches neglect that the appearance of real-world rain is often accompanied by low light conditions, which will further degrade the image quality, thereby hindering the restoration mission. Therefore, it is very indispensable to jointly remove the rain and enhance illumination for real-world rain image restoration. To this end, we proposed a novel spatially-adaptive network, dubbed SANet, which can remove the rain and enhance illumination in one go with the guidance of degradation mask. Meanwhile, to fully utilize negative samples, a contrastive loss is proposed to preserve more natural textures and consistent illumination. In addition, we present a new synthetic dataset, named DarkRain, to boost the development of rain image restoration algorithms in practical scenarios. DarkRain not only contains different degrees of rain, but also considers different lighting conditions, and more realistically simulates real-world rainfall scenarios. SANet is extensively evaluated on the proposed dataset and attains new state-of-the-art performance against other combining methods. Moreover, after a simple transformation, our SANet surpasses existing the state-of-the-art algorithms in both rain removal and low-light image enhancement.

Abstract: Joint attention, which is the ability of coordination of a common point of reference with the communicating party, emerges as a key factor in various interaction scenarios. This paper presents an image-based method for establishing joint attention between an experimenter and a robot. The precise analysis of the experimenter's eye region requires stability and high-resolution image acquisition, which is not always available. We investigate regression-based interpolation of the gaze direction from the head pose of the experimenter, which is easier to track. Gaussian process regression and neural networks are contrasted to interpolate the gaze direction. Then, we combine gaze interpolation with image-based saliency to improve the target point estimates and test three different saliency schemes. We demonstrate the proposed method on a human-robot interaction scenario. Cross-subject evaluations, as well as experiments under adverse conditions (such as dimmed or artificial illumination or motion blur), show that our method generalizes well and achieves rapid gaze estimation for establishing joint attention.
