arXiv:2511.14099v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: All-in-One Image Restoration (AIO-IR) aims to develop a unified model that can handle multiple degradations under complex conditions. However, existing methods often rely on task-specific designs or latent routing strategies, making it hard to adapt to real-world scenarios with various degradations. We propose FAPE-IR, a Frequency-Aware Planning and Execution framework for image restoration. It uses a frozen Multimodal Large Language Model (MLLM) as a planner to analyze degraded images and generate concise, frequency-aware restoration plans. These plans guide a LoRA-based Mixture-of-Experts (LoRA-MoE) module within a diffusion-based executor, which dynamically selects high- or low-frequency experts, complemented by frequency features of the input image. To further improve restoration quality and reduce artifacts, we introduce adversarial training and a frequency regularization loss. By coupling semantic planning with frequency-based restoration, FAPE-IR offers a unified and interpretable solution for all-in-one image restoration. Extensive experiments show that FAPE-IR achieves state-of-the-art performance across seven restoration tasks and exhibits strong zero-shot generalization under mixed degradations.

arXiv:2511.18507v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) deployed on devices must adapt to continuously changing visual scenarios such as variations in background and perspective, to effectively perform complex visual tasks. To investigate catastrophic forgetting under real-world scenario shifts, we construct a multimodal visual understanding dataset (MSVQA), covering four distinct scenarios and perspectives: high-altitude, underwater, low-altitude, and indoor environments. Furthermore, we propose UNIFIER (mUltimodal coNtInual learning with MLLMs From multi-scenarIo pERspectives), a continual learning (CL) framework designed to address visual discrepancies while learning different scenarios. Compared to existing CL methods, UNIFIER enables knowledge accumulation within the same scenario and mutual enhancement across different scenarios via Vision Representation Expansion (VRE) and Vision Consistency Constraint (VCC). Experimental results show that UNIFIER improves the last-step VQA scores by 2.70%~10.62% and the last-step F1 scores by 3.40%~7.69% compared to the state-of-the-art method, QUAD, in 20-step cross-scenario continual learning tasks.
