+# Laparoscopy Image Defogging AI
+
+An AI-powered laparoscopic image enhancement system designed to remove fog, haze, and surgical smoke from minimally invasive surgical imagery using deep learning and image restoration techniques.
+
+This repository contains pretrained Pix2Pix UNet-256 generator weights for real-time laparoscopic image defogging and enhancement.
+
+---
+
+# Model Details
+
+## Model Description
+
+This model is designed to improve the visual clarity of laparoscopic surgical images by removing:
+- Lens fogging
+- Surgical smoke
+- Haze
+- Low contrast artifacts
+
+The system combines:
