$\gamma$-Bridge: A Look-Parametric Diffusion Bridge

Researchers introduce γ-Bridge, a look-parametric diffusion bridge for SAR despeckling that uses a schedule L(t) connecting noisy observations at L_obs to the clean limit via exact multiplicative Gamma marginals. The method achieves zero-shot restoration over the full admissible grid after training only at L_obs=1 on natural images with synthetic Gamma corruption, and processes data from six spaceborne and airborne SAR sensors without sensor-specific fine-tuning.

arXiv:2607.22719v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multiplicative Gamma noise is a signal-dependent degradation in coherent imaging; synthetic aperture radar (SAR) despeckling is its most prominent real-world instance. Existing diffusion denoisers parameterize their forward process by abstract signal-to-noise schedules rather than by the physical look number $L$, so different deployment scenarios typically require separately trained models, and transfer from synthetic Gamma training to real SAR remains challenging without clean ground truth. We introduce $\gamma$-Bridge, a look-parametric bridge whose schedule $L(t)$ connects the noisy observation at $L_{obs}$ to the clean limit through exact multiplicative Gamma marginals. Its closed-form Gamma--L'evy reverse posterior admits both stochastic and deterministic processes, while observation conditioning and a two-step consistency loss stabilize multi-step inference in the low-SNR single-look regime. Because bridge time directly represents $L$, one conditioned network can smart-start from any admissible input look and stop at a target look number. These two orthogonal controls enable zero-shot restoration over the full admissible grid after training only at $L_{obs} = 1$ on natural images with synthetic Gamma corruption. Combined with a homogeneous-patch look estimator, $\gamma$-Bridge processes data from six spaceborne and airborne SAR sensors without sensor-specific fine-tuning, achieving leading results on standard synthetic benchmarks while providing physically interpretable input and output controls absent from prior denoisers.
