All-in-one image restoration aims to recover clean images degraded by multiple corruption types using a single unified model. Existing methods typically rely on image-level prompts or shared guidance to handle diverse degradations. However, such a paradigm becomes inadequate when degradations are spatially heterogeneous or even coexist in mixed forms within a single image. Yet spatially adaptive guidance alone is not sufficient, since accurate restoration also requires each spatial query to reliably aggregate complementary information from local neighborhoods and global contexts. To this end, we propose QuReC, a unified framework for all-in-one image restoration. QuReC consists of a Degradation-Guided Query Reconstruction Module (DQRM) and a Local-Global Response Calibration Module (LGRCM). Specifically, DQRM matches each spatial query against a degradation prototype space to reconstruct a query-specific degradation-aware representation, thereby providing fine-grained spatially adaptive restoration guidance. To further stabilize this query-wise matching process, we introduce a weakly supervised prototype matching learning strategy to improve optimization stability and degradation semantic consistency. Meanwhile, LGRCM performs local-global dual-branch aggregation and calibrates the aggregated responses with learnable priors, improving the reliability of feature aggregation and the coordination between local detail modeling and global context modeling. Extensive experiments demonstrate that QuReC achieves superior performance on multiple all-in-one image restoration benchmarks. The code is released at https://github.com/zhoushen1/QuReC.

High frame-rate (HFR) videos of action recognition improve fine-grained expression while reducing the spatio-temporal relation and motion information density. Thus, large amounts of video samples are continuously required for traditional data-driven training. However, samples are not always sufficient in real-world scenarios, promoting few-shot action recognition (FSAR) research. We observe that most recent FSAR works build spatio-temporal relation of video samples via temporal alignment after spatial feature extraction, cutting apart spatial and temporal features within samples. They also capture motion information via narrow perspectives between adjacent frames without considering density, leading to insufficient motion information capturing. Therefore, we propose a novel plug-and-play architecture for FSAR called Spatio-tempOral frAme tuPle enhancer (SOAP) in this paper. The model we designed with such architecture refers to SOAP-Net. Temporal connections between different feature channels and spatio-temporal relation of features are considered instead of simple feature extraction. Comprehensive motion information is also captured, using frame tuples with multiple frames containing more motion information than adjacent frames. Combining frame tuples of diverse frame counts further provides a broader perspective. SOAP-Net achieves new state-of-the-art performance across well-known benchmarks such as SthSthV2, Kinetics, UCF101, and HMDB51. Extensive empirical evaluations underscore the competitiveness, pluggability, generalization, and robustness of SOAP. The code is released at https://github.com/wenbohuang1002/SOAP.
