A Survey of Single Image De-raining in 2020

Abstract

Impact of rain streaks is often considered a disturbance which causes performance reductions in many computer vision systems. To get rid of this problem, various rain removal systems have been introduced. The process of removing rain is called “de-raining”. There are two main categories of de-raining. Those are single image de-raining and video de-raining. Performing single image de-raining is more challenging than video de-raining because it has no temporal information to be used in the process. This paper undertakes a comparative analysis of existing novel and credible single image de-raining works, and it is followed by an empirical study defining research gaps and possible future works.
