New SEAR framework enhances image restoration with dual-process AI

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have introduced Self-Evolving Agentic Image Restoration (SEAR), a novel framework designed to tackle complex image restoration challenges. SEAR employs a dual-process approach inspired by human cognition, featuring a Deliberate Planner for long-horizon reasoning and an Intuitive Executor for rapid decision-making. The Deliberate Planner utilizes Pruning-Aware Monte Carlo Tree Search and a multimodal large language model (MLLM) to balance exploration and exploitation, while the Intuitive Executor incorporates a self-evolving episodic memory to retain and reuse learned expertise, overcoming limitations of previous agentic systems.

    Self-Evolving Agentic Image Restoration via Deliberate Planning and Intuitive Execution

    arXiv:2606.28971v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Real-world image restoration (IR) remains challenging due to complex and coupled degradations. While recent agentic IR frameworks leverage Large Language Models for flexible tool planning, they face two critical limitations. First, …
