针对水下图像退化复杂多变的问题,提出分阶段解耦修复框架。
TIDE: Two-Stage Inverse Degradation Estimation with Guided Prior Disentanglement for Underwater Image Restoration
- 分两阶段建模四种退化因素,生成针对性修复假设
- 在浑浊水域下颜色校正与对比度提升显著优于现有方法
- 适合海洋监测、考古等需高保真水下成像的场景
水下图像恢复对生态监测到考古调查等海洋应用至关重要,但有效应对复杂且空间变化的水下退化仍是挑战。现有方法通常对全图采用统一修复策略,难以处理共现且随水况变化的多种退化。本文提出TIDE框架,通过显式建模退化特性并基于局部退化模式自适应融合专用先验,实现目标化修复。该方法将水下退化分解为颜色失真、雾霭、细节丢失和噪声四类,分别设计对应修复专家。通过生成专用修复假设,平衡竞争性退化因子,即使在高度退化的区域也能生成自然结果。在标准基准和挑战性浑浊水环境下的大量实验表明,TIDE在有参考指标上表现竞争力,且在无参考感知质量指标上超越现有方法,尤其在颜色校正和对比度增强方面有显著提升。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Underwater image restoration is essential for marine applications ranging from ecological monitoring to archaeological surveys, but effectively addressing the complex and spatially varying nature of underwater degradations remains a challenge. Existing methods typically apply uniform restoration strategies across the entire image, struggling to handle multiple co-occurring degradations that vary spatially and with water conditions. We introduce TIDE, a $\underline{t}$wo stage $\underline{i}$nverse $\underline{d}$egradation $\underline{e}$stimation framework that explicitly models degradation characteristics and applies targeted restoration through specialized prior decomposition. Our approach disentangles the restoration process into multiple specialized hypotheses that are adaptively fused based on local degradation patterns, followed by a progressive refinement stage that corrects residual artifacts. Specifically, TIDE decomposes underwater degradations into four key factors, namely color distortion, haze, detail loss, and noise, and designs restoration experts specialized for each. By generating specialized restoration hypotheses, TIDE balances competing degradation factors and produces natural results even in highly degraded regions. Extensive experiments across both standard benchmarks and challenging turbid water conditions show that TIDE achieves competitive performance on reference based fidelity metrics while outperforming state of the art methods on non reference perceptual quality metrics, with strong improvements in color correction and contrast enhancement.
