Aug 2026 · International Journal of Computer Vision · Vol 134 · 0 citations · 94 references

TL;DR

This paper proposes a scalable framework for image restoration and enhancement built upon the reinforcement learning (RL) paradigm, and confirms the model’s superior few-shot and zero-shot capabilities compared to existing methods, as well as its flexibility in addressing multiple competing objectives.

Beyond Uniform Restoration: Empowering All-in-One Restoration with Pixel-Level Multimodal Guidance

MGN-AIR is presented, a novel pixel-level restoration framework for all-in-one image restoration that leverages both textual and visual prompts to provide global and local degradation cues, guiding the model on where to look and how to restore at each pixel.

MDIRNET: Multi-Degradation Image Restoration Network via Deep Unfolding

Real images often exhibit unknown and mixed degradations, making restoration substantially more challenging than single-task image restoration because multiple distortion types interact within the same observation. Consequently, existing methods often rely on prior knowledge of the degradation type or separate task-spe...
