Abstract
Figure 1. Results of our reflection removal system. We use linear (RAW) images with an optional contextual photo, and output the clean and reflection images in linear color for editing, at full resolution (shown at 2K). Prior works use tone-mapped images at ≈ 256p, yielding lower quality and inaccurate color. Brightness/contrast changes relative to captured photos arise from reflection removal, and are correct.
