UnfairGAN: An enhanced generative adversarial network for raindrop removal from a single image

作者:

Highlights:

• Developing an advanced loss function that can improve the instabilities of GAN.

• An advanced attention module can extract prior information to boost performance.

• A novel activation function can maximize information flow to pass through networks.

• Novel network architecture can probe hierarchical features for image restoration.

• A new large image dataset (DeepRaindrops) for training deraining models.
