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.
MG-SpaIR is a training-data-free framework for restoring a clean image from a single observation corrupted by a mixture of blur, downsampling, noise, and missing pixels. Building on implicit neural representations (INRs), we introduce a multi-grade coarse-to-fine residual hierarchy that progressively refines the reconstruction across resolution grades, improving representational fidelity and mitigating spectral limitations.

The paper introduces FReSH-IR, a lightweight all-in-one weather restoration method that decomposes feature representations into high- and low-frequency components across a hierarchical encoder-decoder. By integrating spectral decomposition with Fourier-based skip connections, it captures complementary frequency information while preserving spatial detail. The approach achieves comparable restoration quality to transformer-based models while using 80% fewer parameters and operations, making it efficient for high-resolution images and constrained-resource systems.

arXiv:2511. 10806v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Image deblurring is vital in computer vision, aiming to recover sharp images from blurry ones caused by motion or camera shake.
The paper benchmarks two strategies for blind image restoration around a fixed image signal processor (ISP): restoring in the RAW domain before the ISP (pre‑ISP) and restoring in the sRGB domain after the ISP (post‑ISP). Across four smartphone groups, two learned ISPs, and three degradation regimes (noise, blur, and combined noise‑blur), the study finds that RAW restoration generally outperforms generic RGB restoration, but RGB models trained with ISP‑aware supervision achieve the best overall performance. The authors emphasize that restoration performance depends heavily on how well the restoration model aligns with the imaging pipeline, and they recommend reporting restoration placement and ISP‑aware supervision as key experimental factors.
