Researchers have audited PhysGuide-Net, a physics-guided network designed for underwater image restoration. Their experiments revealed that while the physics module offers some performance gains with limited training data, it does not significantly improve zero-shot evaluation results compared to a control model. Furthermore, the predicted transmission maps did not correlate strongly with physical quantities like range, suggesting the module's benefit stems from a physics-shaped inductive bias rather than true physical representation. The study also identified implementation defects that could invalidate previous loss ablation studies. AI
