Video face restoration (VFR) aims to recover high-quality and temporally consistent facial details from severely degraded video sequences; however, existing methods still struggle to balance spatial fidelity and temporal coherence under complex degradations. To address this, we propose FADRA, a frequency-aware diffusion framework with iterative residual adaptation specifically tailored for robust VFR.
FADRA is a frequency‑aware diffusion framework designed for video face restoration (VFR). It combines a pre‑trained text‑to‑video diffusion model with lightweight LoRA adapters and a Low‑Quality Pixel‑Alignment Feature Fusion module to adapt the generative prior to VFR. The method introduces a Repeated Residual Adaptation Head that refines residuals step‑wise using low‑quality latent cues, and employs a Frequency‑Aware Loss to supervise multiple spectral bands, improving facial detail recovery and temporal consistency.

arXiv:2608. 10346v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Although advancements in face landmark detection (FLD) methods continue to push performance boundaries, they overlook two major functional limitations: (1) different network parameters need to be trained independently for each ``$N$-point'' benchmark dataset, and (2) a model trained on an ``$N$-point'' dataset reliably outputs only the $N$ landmarks.

The paper introduces Band-Attention Modulation Network (BAM‑Net), a face forgery detection framework that learns fine‑grained, adaptive modulation of frequency bands in the Discrete Cosine Transform spectrogram. BAM‑Net dynamically reweights anti‑diagonal frequency bands to enhance forgery‑related spectral cues while suppressing irrelevant information, then fuses this modulated frequency data with spatial features using a lightweight backbone with distance‑decayed attention. Experiments on FaceForensics++, Celeb‑DF, and DFDC show that BAM‑Net achieves state‑of‑the‑art performance and strong generalization across datasets, compression levels, and manipulation types.
