๐ง๏ธโ๏ธ Free demo: remove rain, raindrops, or snow from a photo with a single model
I put together an unofficial demo for **Histoformer** (ECCV 2024, arXiv: 2407.10172), a 16.6M-parameter transformer that handles three different weather degradations, rain streaks, adherent raindrops, and snow, in one unified model. It uses a "histogram self-attention" mechanism that groups pixels by degradation intensity instead of spatial position, which is a neat way to sidestep the usual spatial-window tradeoffs in restoration transformers.
Upload a photo and get a before/after slider. Two checkpoints available: one tuned for real-world photos, one for the paper's synthetic benchmarks.
Also put together a cleaner, easy-to-use model card with a copy-pasteable Quickstart if you'd rather run it yourself: dronefreak/Histoformer

Reported numbers from the paper: 32.1 PSNR on rain+fog (Outdoor-Rain), 33.1 on raindrops, 37.4 / 32.2 on light/heavy snow (Snow100K-S/L).
๐ Excited to open-source the SeaDronesSee Object Detection Model Zoo on Hugging Face.
This release includes:
- ๐ค YOLOv8, YOLOv11, YOLOv26 and RF-DETR object detection models trained on SeaDronesSee, spanning nano through x-large YOLO variants plus RF-DETR Nano/Small/Medium. - ๐ Benchmarked on SeaDronesSee's maritime search-and-rescue setting โ swimmers, boats, jet skis, life-saving appliances and buoys captured by UAVs over open water, at varying altitudes and non-uniform image resolutions (1080p up to 4K+). - ๐ Detailed model cards with mAP/precision/recall, per-class breakdowns, PR/F1 curves and confusion matrices (YOLO), qualitative detection showcases, and full training configurations for reproducibility.
Headline numbers: - ๐ Best mAP@50: 83.47% (RF-DETR Medium), 47.49% mAP@50:95, 87.01% precision. - โก Best efficiency tradeoff: YOLOv26s hits 80.14% mAP@50 at just 22.8 GFLOPs (10.0M params) โ within ~3 points of the top RF-DETR variant, while actually beating YOLOv11x's 74.82% mAP@50 using ~8.6x fewer FLOPs (196.0 GFLOPs).
The goal is to make benchmarking and experimenting with maritime UAV perception easier by providing ready-to-use pretrained checkpoints, all trained and evaluated under one shared pipeline (DetectionBench: https://github.com/dronefreak/DetectionBench).
Full credit for the underlying dataset goes to Leon Amadeus Varga, Benjamin Kiefer, Martin Messmer, and Andreas Zell (University of Tรผbingen, WACV 2022) โ this release is an unofficial, YOLO-ready reformatting of their work (CC0-licensed), not a new dataset.
