Loop‑Mamba is a lightweight, loop‑based state‑space framework designed for restoring old photographs that suffer from multiple degradations such as scratches, cracks, fading, blur, noise, and missing regions. It models restoration as progressive state evolution, using a Semantic‑Guided Degradation Estimator to predict local degradation maps and global scores, and a Shared Structural Memory Mamba to maintain a persistent restoration state across iterations. The method employs first‑order state recursion and a multi‑directional scanning strategy to reduce gradient dilution and computational overhead, and introduces the Old Photo Damage Recovery Score (ODRS) to evaluate both degradation recovery and structural reconstruction, achieving superior performance on the SynOld benchmark.

The paper introduces Distortion Extenders (DEX), learnable parameters that adapt vision foundation models to fisheye cameras by modeling distortion coefficients and correcting distributional shifts between fisheye and perspective images. DEX is applied to monocular depth estimation and open‑vocabulary segmentation across convolutional and Transformer architectures, consistently outperforming baselines on indoor and outdoor fisheye datasets. Additionally, DEX activations can be decoded to obtain distortion coefficients, aiding camera calibration.
