From Fog Chamber to Aircraft Window: Pixel-Registered Imaging and Synthetic Fine-Tuning Enable Cross-Domain Defogging
Alexander Ingold, Sabina D. Menon, Manya Yellepeddy, Alec Ikei, John D. Hodges, Jordan Baker, et al.
A deep defogging pipeline pretrained on controlled laboratory fog and fine-tuned with domain-randomized synthetic fog applied to clear outdoor scenes generalizes across a graded sequence of out-of-distribution settings with no target-domain training, from chamber-free free-flowin…
