GTAV-NightRain: Photometric Realistic Large-scale Dataset for Night-time Rain Streak Removal

Existing synthetic deraining datasets ignored the photometry property of rain streaks and superimposed 2D rain layer onto clean images without any interactions between rain and environment, making rain streaks unrealistic. The appearance of rain can change drastically with space due to environmental illumination, especially in night scenes where lights are not parallel and uniform. Considering photometry and three dimensional space, rain streaks rendered in GTA V look much more realistic. With proper modifications, it can turn into a good platform for collecting paired data on deraining.

GTAV-NightRain dataset is a large-scale photometric realistic dataset for night-time rain streak removal. This dataset contains 12860 rainy images together with 1286 rain-free ground truths collected in GTA V. Two rain shape and different rain density are included.

We also provide a small version of the dataset on Google Drive. The dataset will be continuously maintained and information of updates will be in informed at Github. Please check it for more information and stay tuned if you are interested in our dataset.
