<strong>
RevealLayer decomposes an RGB image into multiple RGBA layers, enabling precise layer separation and reliable recovery of occluded content in natural scenes.

## ⭐ Update

- **[2026.05]** RevealLayer has been accepted by ICML 2026.
- **[2026.05]** We released the RevealLayer paper and inference code.
- **[2026.05]** We released the RevealLayer checkpoint on [Hugging Face](https://huggingface.co/qihoo360/RevealLayer).

### ✅ TODO

- [ ] Release RevealLayer-100K and RevealLayerBench.
- [ ] Release an improved version of RevealLayer with stronger layer consistency and higher inference efficiency.

## 🎃 Overview

RevealLayer focuses on occlusion-aware image layer decomposition, recovering visible and hidden RGBA layers from a single RGB image with region guidance.

## 📷 Datasets

<div style="width: 100%; text-align: center; margin: auto;">
    <img style="width:100%" src="assets/pipeline.png" alt="RevealLayer dataset pipeline">
</div>

We construct a large-scale multi-layer image decomposition dataset, including **RevealLayer-100K** for training and **RevealLayerBench** for evaluation. RevealLayer-100K contains 100K multi-layer natural image tuples with RGB images, background layers, RGBA foreground layers, and bounding boxes. RevealLayerBench contains 200 high-quality manually curated images, covering challenging cases such as complex occlusions, large-area objects, transparent materials, small foreground objects, and multi-layer scenes.

🔥 We will release **RevealLayer-100K** and **RevealLayerBench** on [Hugging Face](https://huggingface.co/qihoo360/RevealLayer). We hope they can serve as useful training and evaluation resources for future research on occlusion-aware image layer decomposition.

> 🚩 The datasets are intended for research use. Please follow the license and terms provided with the released dataset.
