arXiv:2608. 09482v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: All-in-one image restoration is a unified low-level vision task that aims to effectively recover high-quality images from inputs degraded by various types and levels of corruption using a single model.
The paper investigates how raw or minimally processed satellite imagery affects onboard AI object detection for space missions. By systematically degrading Very High Resolution Maxar images in terms of Signal‑to‑Noise Ratio, Modulation Transfer Function, and Ground Sampling Distance, the authors evaluate three lightweight detectors—YOLOv5s, YOLOX‑S, and NanoDet—on the resulting data. Results show that image quality impacts detection performance in a degradation‑specific way, with GSD consistently shifting performance, while MTF and SNR effects vary by model and resolution; severe blur‑plus‑noise combinations cause the greatest losses.
The paper presents MM‑IQA, a lightweight no‑reference image quality assessment framework designed for UAV imaging. It fuses interpretable metrics—blur, edge structure, low‑resolution artifacts, exposure imbalance, noise, haze, and frequency content—to output a single quality score between 0 and 100. Evaluated on five benchmark datasets, MM‑IQA achieved SRCC values from 0.647 to 0.830 and runs in about 1.97 s per image with modest memory usage.
arXiv:2607. 05467v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Fog severely degrades the visibility of small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in skydominant, long-range imagery, reducing the reliability of downstream detection and tracking.
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.

RA‑SOD is a new RGB‑Thermal salient object detection framework that explicitly models the reliability of each modality. It introduces a reliability‑conditioned representation, an uncertainty‑guided dual‑stream refinement, and a pixel‑wise modality competition mechanism to adaptively compensate degraded features and suppress unreliable evidence. Experiments on four benchmarks show that RA‑SOD achieves state‑of‑the‑art performance and remains robust under severe modality degradation.
