• Abstract: All-in-one adverse weather removal is an emerging topic on image restoration, which aims to restore multiple weather degradations in an unified model, and the challenge are twofold. First, discover and handle the property of multi-domain in target distribution formed by multiple weather conditions. Second, design efficient and effective operations for different degradations. To resolve this problem, most prior works focus on the multi-domain caused by different weather types. Inspired by inter\&intra-domain adaptation literature, we observe that not only weather type but also weather severity introduce multi-domain within each weather type domain, which is ignored by previous methods, and further limit their performance. To this end, we propose a degradation type and severity aware model, called UtilityIR, for blind all-in-one bad weather image restoration. To extract weather information from single image, we propose a novel Marginal Quality Ranking Loss (MQRL) and utilize Contrastive Loss (CL) to guide weather severity and type extraction, and leverage a bag of novel techniques such as Multi-Head Cross Attention (MHCA) and Local-Global Adaptive Instance Normalization (LG-AdaIN) to efficiently restore spatial varying weather degradation. The proposed method can outperform the state-of-the-art methods subjectively and objectively on different weather removal tasks with a large margin, and enjoy less model parameters. Proposed method even can restore unseen combined multiple degradation images, and modulate restoration level. Implementation code and pre-trained weights will be available at \url{https://github.com/fordevoted/UtilityIR}

  Restoring images captured under adverse weather conditions is a fundamental task for many computer vision applications. We propose a multi-weather Transformer, or MWFormer, that aims to solve multiple weather-induced degradations using a single architecture.

  In real-world applications, image degeneration caused by adverse weather is always complex and changes with different weather conditions from days and seasons. We develop a novel continual learning framework with effective knowledge replay (KR) on a unified network structure. It considers the characteristics of the image restoration task with multiple degenerations in continual learning, and the knowledge for different degenerations can be shared and accumulated.

• Decoupling Degradation and Content Processing for Adverse Weather Image Restoration [79.59228846484415]
  Adverse weather image restoration strives to recover clear images from those affected by various weather types, such as rain, haze, and snow. Previous techniques can handle multiple weather types within a single network, but they neglect the crucial distinction between these two processes, limiting the quality of restored images. This work introduces a novel adverse weather image restoration method, called DDCNet, which decouples the degradation removal and content reconstruction process at the feature level based on their channel statistics.
