Learning Polarization Image Restoration with General Restoration Priors

The paper presents an all-in-one framework for restoring polarization images affected by multiple coupled degradations. It identifies the normalized Stokes representation as effective for separating intensity and polarization, and introduces a dual-branch architecture that uses pretrained general restoration priors for the intensity branch while transferring knowledge to the polarization branch via cross-domain feature transform. A composite-degradation benchmark is also established to support future research.

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.

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.

Breaking Weather-Content Coupling: Type-Severity Guided Progressive Disentanglement for All-in-One Infrared Restoration

The paper introduces TSGPD-IR, a network that disentangles weather-induced artifacts from true thermal signals in infrared images. It uses weather semantics and regional degradation severity to generate adaptive prompts, estimate severity without manual labels, and select appropriate expert modules for restoration. This approach aims to reduce artifacts and preserve weak thermal details across varying weather conditions.

Loop-Mamba: A Loop Mamba with Degradation-Aware and Shared Memory for Old Photo Restoration

Loop‑Mamba is a lightweight, loop‑based state‑space framework designed for restoring old photographs that suffer from multiple degradations such as scratches, cracks, fading, blur, noise, and missing regions. It models restoration as progressive state evolution, using a Semantic‑Guided Degradation Estimator to predict local degradation maps and global scores, and a Shared Structural Memory Mamba to maintain a persistent restoration state across iterations. The method employs first‑order state recursion and a multi‑directional scanning strategy to reduce gradient dilution and computational overhead, and introduces the Old Photo Damage Recovery Score (ODRS) to evaluate both degradation recovery and structural reconstruction, achieving superior performance on the SynOld benchmark.
