ArXi:2604.23814v1 Announce Type: new Urban environments contain many imaging sensors built for specific purposes, including ATM, body-worn, CCTV, and dashboard cameras. Under the opportunistic sensing paradigm, these sensors can be repurposed for secondary inference tasks such as license plate recognition. Yet objects of interest in such imagery are often noisy, low-resolution, and captured from extreme viewpoints. Recent advances in AI-based restoration can recover use-ful information even from severely degraded images.
