Consecutive Posterior Fusion for Diffusive Recovery of Unobservable Image Structures

The paper introduces Consecutive Posterior Fusion Denoising Diffusion Null‑Space Models (CPF‑DDNM), an inference‑time method that fuses successive measurement‑aware estimates to better recover unobservable image structures in severely ill‑posed imaging inverse problems. CPF‑DDNM builds on DDNM’s range/null‑space decomposition, preserving measurement‑determined components while refining prior‑driven null‑space estimates. Experiments on sparse‑view CT, low‑dose CT, and medical image super‑resolution demonstrate consistent improvements over DDNM and competitive performance against other diffusion‑based inverse solvers.

Does AI Understand Imaging? A Systematic Benchmark of Agentic AI for Computational Imaging Tasks

arXiv:2607. 07189v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Vision-language models (VLMs) and agentic AI have shown strong performance on semantic visual tasks, but it remains unclear whether they can handle the physics and inverse problems that underlie computational imaging.

Enabling self-supervised learned primal dual with Noise2Inverse

X-ray computed tomography reconstruction is an ill-posed inverse problem, particularly in low-dose and sparse-angle settings where measurements are noisy and incomplete. While learned reconstruction methods such as the Learned Primal-Dual algorithm achieve strong performance, they typically rely on supervised training with access to ground-truth data, which is often unavailable in practice.

Retrieval-Augmented Initialization with Dual-Guided Inversion for Flow-Based Inverse Problem Solvers

The paper introduces Retrieval-Augmented Initialization with Dual-Guided Inversion (RA‑DGI), a method that improves the initial noise used by flow‑based inverse problem solvers by leveraging retrieved proxy clean images and dual‑guided inversion. Experiments across multiple inverse problems show that this improved initialization significantly enhances reconstruction fidelity and perceptual performance compared to standard random noise and inference‑time scaling strategies, while adding less computational overhead.

Beyond Best-of-$k$: Prior-Consistent DAPS for Ambiguous Nonlinear Inverse Problems

The paper introduces Prior-Consistent DAPS (PC‑DAPS), a variant of Decoupled Annealing Posterior Sampling designed to handle ambiguous nonlinear inverse problems where multiple measurement‑consistent solutions exist. PC‑DAPS maintains several candidate solutions in a single sampling run and prunes or replaces weaker candidates based on prior consistency as annealing noise decreases, without requiring ground‑truth access. This approach reduces prior‑inconsistent samples and improves sample quality for nonlinear inverse problems while preserving quality and diversity for linear ones.
