DiffuSAM: Diffusion-Based Prompt-Free SAM2 for Few-Shot and Source-Free Medical Image Segmentation

Segmentation models such as Segment Anything Model (SAM) and SAM2 achieve strong prompt-driven zero-shot performance. However, their training on natural images limits domain transfer to medical data. Consequently, accurate segmentation typically requires extensive fine-tuning and expert-designed prompts. We propose DiffuSAM, a diffusion-based adaptation of SAM2 for prompt-free medical image segmen...

ZID-Net: Zero-Inference Diffusion Prior Decoupling Network for Single Image Dehazing

Single image dehazing is often constrained by a trade-off between restoration quality and computational efficiency. While efficient, CNN networks struggle to learn robust priors for dense and non-homogeneous haze. Conversely, diffusion models provide strong generative priors but suffer from severe inference latency and sampling instability. To address these limitations, we propose ZID-Net, a novel...
