Mi-Ripple: Restoring Images Degraded by Iterative AI Editing

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 10, 2026 · UTC

Iterative reference-conditioned image editing can introduce grid-like and granular textures, commonly described as digital ripple. We present Mi-Ripple, a diagnosis-guided restoration workflow that suppresses this digital ripple while protecting image structure. Mi-Ripple separates periodic lattice artifacts from content-entangled granular texture, then combines selective spectral notching, structure-aware smoothing, and cleaned-reference regeneration. This separation enables low-distortion filtering when artifacts are spectrally isolated and visual reconstruction when filtering would erase le
