The core challenge of heterogeneous change detection in remote sensing imagery lies in effectively decoupling genuine land-cover changes from significant modal disparities caused by distinct imaging mechanisms. These intrinsic inconsistencies are prone to introducing pseudo-changes, thereby constraining detection accuracy.
Restoring high-fidelity remote sensing imagery from extreme low-light degradation is indispensable for reliable Earth observation and downstream machine vision. However, under severe noise and illumination corruption, existing methods suffer from attention drift, erroneously aggregating features across distinct physical boundaries and causing severe structural blurring and color distortion.
Multi-modality image fusion (MMIF) enhances scene representation by exploiting complementary cues from different modalities. Adverse weather, however, causes significant image degradation, disrupting feature representation and requiring simultaneous feature restoration and cross-modal complementarity.
AQUA-Net is a lightweight underwater image enhancement model that fuses spatial, frequency, and illumination information through a residual encoder‑decoder architecture with dual auxiliary branches. The frequency fusion encoder incorporates Fourier‑domain cues to preserve textures and details, while the illumination‑aware decoder applies adaptive exposure correction based on a learned illumination map. Experiments on benchmark datasets and a new high‑resolution Mediterranean Sea video set demonstrate that AQUA-Net achieves state‑of‑the‑art performance with fewer parameters, showing strong generalization and robustness for real‑world underwater imaging.

The paper introduces PGL-Net, a lightweight physics-inspired network for real‑world single image dehazing. It decouples the task into global distribution rectification and local structural refinement, using a Physics‑Inspired Affine Fusion module for global alignment and a Degradation‑Aware Modulation block for adaptive detail restoration. Experiments show that PGL‑Net, especially its Tiny variant, outperforms recent state‑of‑the‑art methods in PSNR and downstream object detection while reducing inference latency by over tenfold.

Existing diffusion-based methods have recently made significant progress in image dehazing. However, they typically neglect the physics of haze formation and reconstruct clean images from pure Gaussian noise, thereby limiting their restoration potential.

Remote sensing images acquired by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and satellites are often degraded by adverse weather, illumination variation, and imaging artifacts, which may co-occur and jointly induce global distribution shifts and local structural corruption. Although All-in-One image restoration offers an appealing unified alternative to task-specific pipelines, existing methods still suffer from weak or implicit degradation cues and parameter redundancy caused by full-rank multi-expert designs with overlapping restoration behaviors.

OptiSAR-Net++ introduces a new cross‑domain remote sensing visual grounding task (CD‑RSVG) and the first large‑scale benchmark dataset, OptSAR‑RSVG. The framework replaces Transformer decoding with a CLIP‑based contrastive approach, employing a patch‑level Low‑Rank Adaptation Mixture of Experts for efficient cross‑domain feature decoupling and a text‑guided dual‑gate fusion module for improved semantic‑visual alignment. Experiments show state‑of‑the‑art performance on OptSAR‑RSVG and DIOR‑RSVG, with notable gains in localization accuracy and computational efficiency.

The paper introduces TSGPD-IR, a network that disentangles weather-induced artifacts from true thermal signals in infrared images. It uses weather semantics and regional degradation severity to generate adaptive prompts, estimate severity without manual labels, and select appropriate expert modules for restoration. This approach aims to reduce artifacts and preserve weak thermal details across varying weather conditions.
