Seeing Through the Glare: A Multi-Source Benchmark and Ocular-Adaptive Pixel MeanFlow for Eyeglass Reflection Removal

The paper introduces OcuBench, a comprehensive benchmark for eyeglass reflection removal that includes 10,280 synthetic pairs, 732 real-input pseudo-pairs, and 458 real-world test images, enabling both paired evaluation and assessment beyond generated supervision. It also proposes OcuFlow, an ocular-adaptive pixel MeanFlow framework that uses geometry-adaptive representation and one-step pMF to focus on reflection-obscured ocular regions while preserving native-resolution details. Experiments show OcuFlow consistently outperforms baselines in reflection removal quality, ocular fidelity, and efficiency, achieving 67.32% of selections in a blind user study, six times the next-best share.

Unwarping the Lens: A Physics-Grounded Approach to Video Glasses Removal

arXiv:2608. 20212v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: High-fidelity removal of eyeglasses from video is a major challenge in facial attribute editing, as the underlying facial geometry is often obscured by complex refractive distortions and view-dependent specular reflections.

From Mono to Stereo: Accelerating Binocular Gaussian Splatting via Reprojection and Selective Patching

The paper introduces a 2D Gaussian Splatting pipeline that renders a dominant-eye RGB image and depth proxy, then reprojects and selectively patches the affiliated eye to reduce redundant work. By reusing alpha-blending weights and generating adaptive regions of interest, the method cuts sequential binocular rendering time by 15.5% to 28.8% and GPU memory by 6% to 11% on several datasets, with minimal quality loss. It demonstrates a practical efficiency‑quality trade‑off for static‑scene stereo rendering and suggests further evaluation on dynamic scenes and VR hardware.

Bricker to BRACE: A Bracket Exposure RAW Dataset and Restoration Model for Flicker-Banding

Flicker-banding (FB), arises from temporal aliasing between a camera's rolling shutter and a display's brightness modulation, degrading screen-captured image readability with color shifts and jagged patterns. Existing single-frame methods with simplified parametric stripe models cannot reliably distinguish these artifacts from genuine texture.

VOR-Bench: A Human Perception-Driven Benchmark for Video Object Removal

VOR-Bench is a new benchmark for video object removal that addresses shortcomings in current evaluation methods by providing a dataset with paired edited videos and graffiti masks, a realistic motion-capable paired-video acquisition framework (rMPAF), and a perception-driven scoring model (VOR-MDSM). The dataset includes diverse data from model-generated, tool-rendered, and camera-captured sources, ensuring robust real-world assessment. Experiments show that VOR-Bench’s evaluation results correlate strongly (ρ > 0.9) with human subjective judgments, bridging the gap between traditional metrics and human preference.

MirrorDistill: Illumination-Aware Latent Distillation for Efficient Low-Light Restoration

MirrorDistill introduces an illumination‑aware latent distillation framework for low‑light image enhancement. It trains a lightweight student encoder‑decoder by aligning its intermediate features with clean‑domain targets generated by a teacher decoder, using feature mirroring and illumination‑aware weighting to emphasize underexposed regions. The method achieves state‑of‑the‑art performance on the LOL‑v2‑Real benchmark while maintaining the lowest computational complexity, and the code is released as open source.
