SAR-FAH: A Frequency-Adaptive Hybrid Network based on Neural ODEs for Structural-Preserving SAR Despeckling

SAR-FAH is a Frequency‑Adaptive Hybrid network that uses Neural Ordinary Differential Equations (NODEs) to despeckle Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images. It separates homogeneous and heterogeneous regions in the frequency domain via wavelet transform, then applies a NODE‑based module to low‑frequency sub‑bands for smooth denoising and an enhanced U‑Net with deformable convolutions to high‑frequency sub‑bands for edge and texture preservation. Experiments on synthetic and real SAR data show that SAR‑FAH outperforms current state‑of‑the‑art despeckling methods both quantitatively and qualitatively.

A JiT-Based Denoising Defense Method Against Adversarial Examples for Radio Signal Automatic Modulation Classification

The paper introduces a JiT-based denoising defense for radio signal automatic modulation classification, employing a 1D Transformer trained via flow matching to map adversarial examples onto a clean signal manifold. Experiments on the RML2018.01A dataset show the method outperforms PGD-based adversarial training, improving robust accuracy by at least 20.58% under PGD attacks and clean accuracy by 10.20%. It also demonstrates stronger defense against unseen attack types, achieving up to a 39.72% improvement in robust accuracy at higher attack strengths.

C-DiffSET: Leveraging Latent Diffusion for SAR-to-EO Image Translation with Confidence-Guided Reliable Object Generation

C‑DiffSET is a SAR‑to‑EO image translation framework that uses a pretrained Latent Diffusion Model to adapt SAR imagery to the EO domain. The method exploits the pretrained VAE encoder’s ability to map SAR and EO images into a shared latent space, even when SAR inputs contain varying noise levels. A confidence‑guided diffusion loss further improves pixel‑wise fidelity by reducing artifacts such as appearing or disappearing objects, leading to state‑of‑the‑art results across multiple datasets.

PatchDenoiser: Parameter-efficient multi-scale patch learning and fusion denoiser for Low-dose CT imaging

arXiv:2602. 21987v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Low-dose CT images are essential for reducing radiation exposure in cancer screening, pediatric imaging, and longitudinal monitoring protocols, but their quality is often degraded by noise from low-dose acquisition, patient motion, or scanner limitations, affecting both clinical interpretation and downstream analysis.

Learning spatially varying regularisation parameters of low regularity for image reconstruction

The article reviews how spatially adaptive regularisation weight functions can be incorporated into variational image reconstruction models like Total Variation and Total Generalised Variation. It discusses the regularity properties of these weights—constant, continuous, or piecewise constant—and how they influence edge and detail preservation. The authors highlight recent hybrid methods that learn low‑regularity weights via deep neural networks, demonstrating their effectiveness in image denoising and MRI reconstruction.
