Optical flow in heavy rainy scenes is challenging due to the presence of both rain steaks and rain veiling effect, which break the existing optical flow constraints. Concerning this, we propose a deep-learning based optical flow method designed to handle heavy rain. We introduce a feature multiplier in our network that transforms the features of an image affected by the rain veiling effect into features that are less affected by it, which we call veiling-invariant features. We establish a new mapping operation in the feature space to produce streak-invariant features. The operation is based on a feature pyramid structure of the input images, and the basic idea is to preserve the chromatic features of the background scenes while canceling the rain-streak patterns. Both the veiling-invariant and streak-invariant features are computed and optimized automatically based on the the accuracy of our optical flow estimation. Our network is end-to-end, and handles both rain streaks and the veiling effect in an integrated framework. Extensive experiments show the effectiveness of our method, which outperforms the state of the art method and other baseline methods. We also show that our network can robustly maintain good performance on clean (no rain) images even though it is trained under rain image data.
