Semi-LAR: Semi-supervised Contrastive Learning with Linear Attention for Removal of Nighttime Flares

Read the original on arXiv Computer Vision →

The paper introduces Semi-LAR, a semi‑supervised framework for removing nighttime lens flares. It uses an adaptive pseudo‑label repository that refines supervision through quality assessment, momentum updates, and invalid label filtering. A flare‑aware contrastive loss treats flare‑contaminated inputs as negatives, encouraging representations that distinguish flare patterns while aligning with reliable pseudo targets.

Consistency as Regularization for Unsupervised Shadow Removal

The paper introduces ShadowCLR, an unsupervised framework for removing shadows from images without requiring paired shadow–shadow-free data or shadow masks. By leveraging consistency across multiple shadowed observations of the same scene, the method regularizes the model to recover scene-consistent appearance while suppressing shadow-specific variations. Experiments on several benchmarks show that ShadowCLR achieves competitive or superior performance compared to existing unsupervised approaches.
