All-in-one image restoration aims to handle diverse degradations within a single model. However, existing methods often suffer from three key limitations: 1) per-input computational overhead from dynamic degradation estimation; 2) optimization challenges due to task heterogeneity; and 3) inefficient, frequency-agnostic encoder designs. To overcome these, we introduce the Dynamic Reparameterization Network (DRNet), a novel framework operating on an initialization-stage reconfiguration paradigm that fundamentally eliminates per-input overhead. At its core, a Dynamic Reparameterization MLP (DRMLP) guided by a Task-Specific Modulator (TSM), which effectively mitigates task heterogeneity by orchestrating both specific restoration goals and a versatile general-purpose mode within a unified architecture. Furthermore, we incorporate a Continuous Wavelet Transform Encoder (CWTE) that explicitly leverages frequency characteristics via wavelet decomposition for a lightweight yet powerful design. Extensive experiments demonstrate that DRNet achieves state-of-the-art performance across five restoration tasks with superior parameter efficiency. Crucially, it showcases unique flexibility, excelling as both a highly competitive foundation model for blind restoration and a top-performing user-guided specialist.

Leveraging Transformer attention has led to great advancements in HDR deghosting. However, the intricate nature of self-attention introduces practical challenges, as existing state-of-the-art methods often demand high-end GPUs or exhibit slow inference speeds, especially for high-resolution images like 2K. Striking an optimal balance between performance and latency remains a critical concern. In response, this work presents PASTA, a novel Progressively Aggregated Spatio-Temporal Alignment framework for HDR deghosting. Our approach achieves effectiveness and efficiency by harnessing hierarchical representation during feature distanglement. Through the utilization of diverse granularities within the hierarchical structure, our method substantially boosts computational speed and optimizes the HDR imaging workflow. In addition, we explore within-scale feature modeling with local and global attention, gradually merging and refining them in a coarse-to-fine fashion. Experimental results showcase PASTA's superiority over current SOTA methods in both visual quality and performance metrics, accompanied by a substantial 3-fold (x3) increase in inference speed.
