# PolarFree: Polarization-based Reflection-Free Imaging

## Dataset Overview

PolarFree is a high-quality dataset designed for polarization-based reflection removal tasks, as introduced in the CVPR 2025 paper "PolarFree: Polarization-based Reflection-Free Imaging". The dataset aims to support tasks such as image reflection removal and image enhancement, particularly suitable for training and evaluating image enhancement models.

## Dataset Structure

The dataset is organized as follows:

```
dataset/
├── train/
│   └── scene_id/
│       ├── input/
│       │   ├── 000_000.png
│       │   ├── 000_045.png
│       │   └── ...
│       └── gt/
│           ├── 000_000.png
│           ├── 000_045.png
│           └── ...
├── test/
│   └── scene_id/
│       ├── input/
│       │   ├── 000_000.png

│       │   └── ...
│       └── gt/
│           ├── 000_000.png
│           ├── 000_045.png
│           └── ...
```

- **input/scene_id/**: Contains multiple input images captured at different polarization angles. Each group of images shares the same prefix number (e.g., 000, 001), indicating they belong to the same set.
- **gt/scene_id/**: Contains the corresponding high-quality ground truth images used as references for the input images.

```json
{
  "inputs": [
    "input/scene_id/001_000.png",
    "input/scene_id/001_045.png",
    "input/scene_id/001_090.png",
    "input/scene_id/001_rgb.png"
  ],
  "gt": [
    "gt/scene_id/000_000.png",
    "gt/scene_id/000_045.png",
    "gt/scene_id/000_090.png",
    "gt/scene_id/000_rgb.png"
  ]
}
```

The training and testing data are all available! If you want raw images, please contact me via mingdeyao@foxmail.com.

## Supported Task

- **Image Reflection Removal**: Utilizing polarization information to remove reflections from input images, resulting in clearer images.
