Tri-DehazeGS: Scene--Medium Decoupled Gaussian Splatting with Transmittance-Aware Optimization

Tri‑DehazeGS is a Gaussian Splatting framework that decouples clean scene reconstruction from atmospheric haze by representing the scene with Gaussian primitives and the haze medium with an independent view‑shared tri‑plane field. It uses a physical scattering model to compose hazy observations and introduces Medium‑Decoupled Transmittance Gradient Compensation (MD‑TGC) to re‑balance gradients in low‑transmittance regions without altering forward rendering. Experiments on real and synthetic haze benchmarks demonstrate that this approach improves clean novel‑view reconstruction.

Tri-DehazeGS: Scene--Medium Decoupled Gaussian Splatting with Transmittance-Aware Optimization

Tri-DehazeGS tackles the problem of reconstructing clean 3D scenes from hazy multi‑view images by decoupling the scene and the haze medium. It represents the scene with Gaussian primitives while modeling the haze as an independent view‑shared tri‑plane field, and composes hazy observations through a physical scattering model. The method introduces Medium‑Decoupled Transmittance Gradient Compensation (MD‑TGC) to balance gradients in low‑transmittance regions, leading to improved novel‑view reconstruction on real and synthetic haze benchmarks.

DPSF-Net: A Dual-Prior Spatial-Frequency Network for Real-World Remote Sensing Image Dehazing

DPSF-Net is a dual‑prior spatial‑frequency network designed for real‑world remote sensing image dehazing. It combines hazy RGB images with dark channel prior maps as joint inputs, and incorporates a spatial‑frequency residual interaction block, a prior‑guided feature attention module, and a selective kernel complementary fusion module to reduce colour shift, structural distortion, and large‑scale haze. Experiments show that DPSF-Net achieves state‑of‑the‑art performance on the RRSHID benchmark while maintaining a favorable balance of restoration quality, parameter count, and computational complexity.

3D-USE: From Image-Level to Scene-Level Underwater Enhancement

The paper introduces 3D-USE, a two‑stage framework for underwater scene‑level enhancement that learns a persistent, visibility‑enhanced 3D representation from degraded multi‑view observations. First, the Medium Radial Basis Anchor Representation (MediumRBF) builds a medium‑aware Gaussian scene by separating object and medium effects. Then, Appearance Transition Consensus (ATC) transfers 2D underwater image enhancement knowledge into scene‑global and Gaussian‑local targets, which are realized by an Underwater Bilateral Appearance Field (U‑BAF) to render enhanced novel views without a 2D UIE model at inference. Experiments on real underwater scenes demonstrate improved visibility, cross‑view consistency, and preserved reconstruction quality.
