WildShadowRemover is a framework that adapts a pretrained video diffusion model for robust in-the-wild video shadow removal using LoRA fine-tuning. It augments the frozen VAE decoder with a detail injection module and introduces a shadow‑mask‑guided frequency‑decomposed modulation module to restore high‑frequency textures while suppressing shadow artifacts, with monocular depth priors providing geometry‑aware guidance. The authors also create WildShadow, a large‑scale paired video shadow removal dataset, and show that their method outperforms existing approaches in shadow removal quality, temporal consistency, and generalization across challenging real‑world scenarios.
arXiv:2607. 20628v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Real-world video deblurring remains challenging due to diverse motion patterns, complex degradations, and the scarcity of realistic training data, yet robust restoration is critical for downstream pipelines such as mobile imaging and 3D reconstruction.
Existing supervised and unsupervised shadow removal methods often suffer from limited generalization due to the insufficient diversity of available training datasets, while zero-shot methods tend to produce artifacts and require time-consuming test-time optimization. To address these issues, we propose FreeShadow, a training-free shadow removal method built upon pretrained diffusion models, which exploits diffusion priors for shadow removal without any training or optimization.

The paper introduces Driving with DINO (DwD), a framework that uses Vision Foundation Module (VFM) features to bridge simulation and real-world domains for autonomous driving video generation. It addresses the consistency‑realism dilemma by projecting VFM features onto a principal subspace, dropping high‑frequency texture elements, and applying a Random Channel Tail Drop to preserve structural detail. Additional components— a learnable Spatial Alignment Module and a Causal Temporal Aggregator— enhance control precision, spatial alignment, and temporal stability, reducing motion blur and ensuring realistic, consistent outputs.
