6thGrid-Net: Unified Remote Sensing Image Dehazing Based on Color Restoration and Edge-Preserving

Remote sensing images are frequently degraded by adverse weather conditions, particularly clouds and haze, which severely impair downstream applications. Existing restoration methods typically rely on computationally heavy architectures or sequential pipelines (e.g., detail enhancement followed by color rendition) that suffer from mutual interference and artifact accumulation. Furthermore, recent unified grid-based approaches utilize fixed, isotropic interpolation kernels, neglecting the intrinsic low-dimensional manifold of natural images and inevitably causing edge blur. To address these limitations, we propose 6th Grid-Net, a highly efficient and unified remote sensing image restoration framework tailored for resource-constrained edge devices. Specifically, we construct a novel six-dimensional fusion tensor that seamlessly integrates the color rendition capabilities of 3D LUTs with the spatial-luminance detail preservation of bilateral grids. To overcome the drawbacks of standard trilinear interpolation, we introduce a manifold-adaptive high-dimensional sampling mechanism. This mechanism dynamically adjusts the interpolation kernel based on local edge orientation, texture strength, and color similarity, enabling simultaneous global color stylization and local edge refinement in a single forward pass. Additionally, an edge-aware grid smoothing constraint and dynamic quantization are incorporated to suppress ghosting artifacts and significantly compress the model size. Extensive experiments on multiple benchmark datasets demonstrate that 6th Grid-Net achieves state-of-the-art restoration quality across various degradation scenarios.
