Agents for mixed-degradation image restoration typically learn what a tool does to an image only after running it: failed calls waste computation and harmful outputs go unnoticed until too late. We pr...
SkillIR is a skill-guided framework for agentic image restoration that represents restoration experience as degradation-centered action evidence rather than full tool-use trajectories. It consolidates context-dependent action outcomes into scene-aware restoration skills, guiding one bounded action at a time within a verified residual-state loop. Experiments on synthetic and real-world multi-degradation datasets show that SkillIR improves restoration quality and enables more reliable and effective tool use.

The paper introduces DLC, a metric-guided dynamic loss controller that adjusts the weighting of existing training losses during multi-objective image restoration. DLC evaluates the model on a fixed feedback subset and uses quality metrics to update the loss-weight vector via an LLM-based controller, without altering the restoration architecture or adding new loss terms. Experiments on low-light enhancement, deraining, and super-resolution demonstrate that DLC guides training toward balanced fidelity and perceptual quality across diverse domains.

The paper introduces ImIR, a method that tunes a large pretrained image‑editing model for all‑in‑one image restoration by replacing text prompts with continuous image‑derived instructions. The approach uses a lightweight token mapper to shift the degraded image’s vision‑language embedding toward that of a clean image, enabling a single adapter to handle six restoration tasks in about three hours on one GPU. ImIR outperforms text conditioning in matched comparisons and supports task‑agnostic restoration without requiring a degradation label.
