SNM-VFI: Symmetric Nonlinear Motion-Guided Generative Video Frame Interpolation

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.

Flow Straight to Reality: Perceptually Consistent Flow Matching for Efficient Image Restoration

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.

Bi-FlowGS: Bridging Generative View Completion and Gaussian Geometry through Bidirectional Flow Co-Refinement

Bi-FlowGS introduces a bidirectional co-refinement framework that links generative view completion with 3D Gaussian Splatting geometry. It employs Video-to-Geometry Flow Distillation (V2G) to transfer temporal correspondence from restored videos into Gaussian geometry, mitigating the Geometry Cheating problem. Simultaneously, Geometry-to-Video Flow-Guided Restoration (G2V) uses the current 3DGS geometry to guide temporally consistent video restoration, creating a loop where restored videos and optimized geometry iteratively improve each other, leading to better rendering quality and geometric consistency on wide-baseline and 360° benchmarks.

ZoomDiff: A High-Fidelity Diffusion Model for Dual-Camera Smooth Zooming

ZoomDiff is a high‑fidelity diffusion model designed to improve dual‑camera smooth zooming by producing photo‑realistic transitions. It strengthens dual‑image conditional guidance during denoising, injects flow‑aligned multi‑scale features from the VAE encoder into the decoder to recover high‑frequency details, and uses flow‑guided temporal consistency supervision to ensure smoother transitions. Experiments on synthetic and real‑world datasets show that ZoomDiff outperforms state‑of‑the‑art methods both quantitatively and qualitatively.
