WaFIR introduces subband-adaptive routing for blind image restoration

Researchers have introduced WaFIR, a novel decoder module designed for blind all-in-one image restoration. This system decomposes image features into subbands, uses Fourier descriptors to summarize each subband, and routes them to specialized experts for processing. WaFIR demonstrates improved performance over existing baselines in denoising, deraining, and dehazing tasks, showing robustness to unseen degradations and compound effects. AI

IMPACT Introduces a novel approach to image restoration that could improve performance and robustness in various applications.

    WaFIR: Wavelet-Fourier Mixture-of-Experts with Subband-Adaptive Routing for Blind All-in-One Image Restoration

    arXiv:2610.29108v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Blind all-in-one image restoration must adapt a shared model to heterogeneous and sometimes mixed degradations without a task label at test time. We introduce WaFIR, a decoder module that decomposes features into Haar subbands, summ…
