Abstract: Highlights•An efficient desnowing method named Snowed Autoencoder (SAE) is proposed.•A multi-encoder for SAE using snow information with an attention module is proposed.•A multi-decoder for SAE with fewer sub-decoders than sub-encoders is proposed.•SAE outperformed state-of-the-art on four desnowing datasets.
