BITS-Net: Blind Image Transparency Separation Network

This research presents a new approach for blind single-image transparency separation, a significant challenge in image processing. The proposed framework divides the task into two parallel processes: feature separation and image reconstruction. The feature separation task leverages two deep image prior (DIP) networks to recover two distinct layers. An exclusion loss and deep feature separation loss are used to decompose features. For the image reconstruction task, we minimize the difference between the mixed image and the re-mixed image while also incorporating a regularizer to impose natural priors on each layer. Our results indicate that our method performs comparably or outperforms state-of-the-art approaches when tested on various image datasets.
