Camera anomalies like rain or dust can severely degrade image quality and its related tasks, such as localization and segmentation. In this work we address this important issue by implementing a pre-processing step that can effectively mitigate such artifacts in a real-time fashion, thus supporting the deployment of autonomous systems with limited compute capabilities. We propose a shallow generat...
