DPSF-Net: A Dual-Prior Spatial-Frequency Network for Real-World Remote Sensing Image Dehazing

arXiv:2609.06962v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Real-world remote sensing image dehazing (RSID) remains challenging because atmospheric scattering, spatially non-uniform haze and colour distortion jointly degrade structural and spectral information. Most deep learning methods rely on RGB inputs and spatial-domain feature extraction, which limits their ability to separate global background haze from local surface details. Here, we propose DPSF-Net, a dual-prior spatial-frequency network built on MCAF-Net for real-world RSID. The network uses hazy RGB images and dark channel prior (DCP) maps as joint inputs, allowing physical degradation cues to guide end-to-end feature learning. A spatial-frequency residual interaction block introduces a FourierUnit branch into multi-directional spatial interaction to model large-scale haze components. A prior-guided feature attention module adaptively fuses prior and attention features to reduce colour shift and structural distortion. A selective kernel complementary fusion module screens multi-scale skip features through bidirectional residual complementary gating and selective kernel fusion. Extensive experiments demonstrate that DPSF-Net achieves state-of-the-art performance on the real-world RRSHID remote sensing image dehazing benchmark and remains competitive across multiple synthetic datasets. Moreover, the proposed method strikes a favourable balance among restoration quality, parameter count and computational complexity, supporting the effectiveness of dual-prior spatial-frequency modelling.
