The Magic of MonoWAD: Seeing Through Fog

A car that can drive safely even when the weather is nasty. That's what MonoWAD is all about! This clever system uses 3D detection to spot things around it, even when it's as foggy as a Halloween night. The secret? MonoWAD has a special weather codebook that remembers what clear skies look like. When it's foggy, the system uses this codebook to enhance the image, making it easier to see.But there's more! MonoWAD also has a weather-adaptive diffusion model. This model boosts the image quality by adding a special weather feature. Think of it like giving the car a little extra help to see better in bad weather. The team behind MonoWAD created a unique way for the system to learn from different weather conditions. They tested it in all sorts of weather, from sunny days to stormy nights, and found it worked really well. If you're curious, you can check out the code and data they used on their GitHub page.
