# RealRestorer Degradation Models

This repository provides the degradation models used in the degradation pipeline of [RealRestorer](https://github.com/yfyang007/RealRestorer).

In particular, these models are used for **moire synthesis** and **specular reflection synthesis** in the RealRestorer degradation pipeline, which are designed to generate realistic degradations for training data construction and controlled degradation simulation.

## Usage

Please refer to the main RealRestorer repository for the complete pipeline, code, and usage instructions:

- **RealRestorer**: https://github.com/yfyang007/RealRestorer

These degradation models are intended to be used together with the degradation pipeline in RealRestorer rather than as a standalone image restoration model.
