TaskGuard: Task-Conditioned Restoration Utility for Risk-Aware Object Detection
Image restoration is commonly applied before object detection under adverse conditions, yet a visually improved image need not improve the downstream task. We study this mismatch as restoration utility prediction: given a degraded image and its candidate restoration, should the restoration be used or should the original observation be preserved? We introduce TaskGuard, a post-hoc controller for frozen restoration and detection pipelines. TaskGuard characterizes the realized restoration residual through its interaction with detector sensitivity and predicts whether the intervention is task-bene
