Existing methods often struggle to recover both layers in glare or weak-reflection scenarios because of insufficient information. This paper presents a diffusion model explicitly fine-tuned for this task, leveraging generative diffusion priors for robust separation. Our method simultaneously generates transmission and reflection layers through a unified diffusion model, incorporating a novel cross-layer self-attention mechanism for better feature disentanglement. We further introduce a disjoint sampling strategy to iteratively reduce interference between the layers during diffusion and a latent optimization step with a learned composition function for improved results in complex real-world scenarios. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our approach surpasses state-of-the-art methods on multiple real-world benchmarks.
