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.

The paper introduces a depth‑aware pothole detection framework that fuses RGB‑D sensor data and evaluates five architectures—YOLOv8n, YOLOv8nSeg, YOLOv9t, RTDETRL, and RTDETRX—on the PothRGBD dataset. YOLOv8nSeg achieves the highest detection performance (mAP@50 = 0.9556, mAP@50_95 = 0.6758) and the most accurate depth estimate (2.96 cm), while YOLOv8n offers the fastest inference (3.6 ms) and RTDETRX delivers the highest detection confidence (92.70 %). The study also shows that even after RANSAC orthorectification, bounding‑box models overestimate pothole depth by 0.16–0.21 cm, indicating a structural bias rather than a calibration error.
