Seeing through Denoising: Frequency-guided One-step Denoising for Infrared Small Target Detection

The paper introduces DiffIRSTD, a generative framework that treats infrared small target detection as a background reconstruction problem. By interpreting small targets as noise-like signals, a diffusion-based model recovers a clean, target-free background, and the residual highlights candidate targets. A one-step denoising strategy and a frequency-guided perception loss enable efficient, high-quality reconstruction while remaining plug‑and‑play for existing detectors, achieving state‑of‑the‑art results on three IRSTD benchmarks.

SlowFast-SCI: Slow-Fast Deep Unfolding Learning for Spectral Compressive Imaging

SlowFast‑SCI introduces a dual‑speed deep‑unfolding framework for spectral compressive imaging that combines a slow, pre‑trained backbone with a fast, test‑time adaptation stage. The slow phase distills a priors‑based model into a compact fast‑unfolding network, while the fast phase embeds lightweight modules that self‑supervise at test time without retraining the backbone. This design yields significant reductions in parameters and FLOPs, improves out‑of‑distribution PSNR by up to 5.79 dB, and accelerates adaptation four‑fold, all while remaining modular enough to integrate with any existing deep‑unfolding system.
