arXiv:2608. 10544v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Image restoration is fundamentally constrained by the tradeoff between distortion and perception: minimizing pixel-wise error yields over-smoothed results, whereas optimizing for perceptual realism often introduces structural deviations.

3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) has achieved remarkable success in real-time novel view synthesis, yet it suffers from severe overfitting under sparse-view settings due to insufficient geometric constraints. While recent methods introduce monocular depth priors to mitigate this, they inherently struggle with scale ambiguity and cross-view inconsistency, leading to defective geometry.
arXiv:2607. 10140v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Existing optical flow methods broadly follow two paradigms: iterative optimization and diffusion-based estimation.

Existing iterative stereo matching methods primarily adopt two types of correspondence representation: explicit matching search via correlation volumes and local residual refinement via warped features, yet the two remain separately modeled. We propose WAVE-Stereo, built on a core insight: correlation volumes and feature warping provide complementary matching cues.

We propose Symmetric Nonlinear Motion-guided Generative Video Frame Interpolation (SNM-VFI), a training-free framework for motion-controllable generative video frame interpolation with pre-trained optical flow and video diffusion models. Unlike conventional diffusion-based VFI methods that synthesize intermediate frames from random noise, SNM-VFI guides the generative process with correspondence-aware frames produced by a symmetric nonlinear motion model.

arXiv:2608. 09133v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Image super-resolution (SR) with large generative models has recently achieved remarkable perceptual quality, yet maintaining fidelity to the LR observation remains challenging.

Reconstructing 3D scenes from a single image is a fundamental challenge in computer vision, with broad applications in virtual reality, robotics, and content creation. Recent methods achieve outstanding performance by leveraging camera-controlled video diffusion models, but rely on iterative diffusion sampling, which greatly limits their practical deployment.
