SkillIR: Evolving Scene-Aware Skills for Agentic Image Restoration

SkillIR is a skill-guided framework for agentic image restoration that represents restoration experience as degradation-centered action evidence rather than full tool-use trajectories. It consolidates context-dependent action outcomes into scene-aware restoration skills, guiding one bounded action at a time within a verified residual-state loop. Experiments on synthetic and real-world multi-degradation datasets show that SkillIR improves restoration quality and enables more reliable and effective tool use.

CoRE-UIR: Prior-guided common and residual experts for efficient all-in-one remote sensing image restoration

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.

ImIR: Image-Instruction Tuning for All-in-One Image Restoration

The paper introduces ImIR, a method that tunes a large pretrained image‑editing model for all‑in‑one image restoration by replacing text prompts with continuous image‑derived instructions. The approach uses a lightweight token mapper to shift the degraded image’s vision‑language embedding toward that of a clean image, enabling a single adapter to handle six restoration tasks in about three hours on one GPU. ImIR outperforms text conditioning in matched comparisons and supports task‑agnostic restoration without requiring a degradation label.
