Difflare: Removing Image Lens Flare with Latent Diffusion Models
Tianwen Zhou, Qihao Duan and Zitong Yu*.

BMVC 2024 (Core A) | Paper | Code | Video

  • This work presents a novel paradigm for image lens flare removal.
  • We utilize both the physics prior of lens flare and the prior encapsulated in pre-trained Latent Diffusion Models (LDM).
