MG-SpaIR: Multi-grade Sparse-guided Implicit Representation for Training-Data-Free Image Restoration

MG-SpaIR is a training-data-free framework for restoring a clean image from a single observation corrupted by a mixture of blur, downsampling, noise, and missing pixels. Building on implicit neural representations (INRs), we introduce a multi-grade coarse-to-fine residual hierarchy that progressively refines the reconstruction across resolution grades, improving representational fidelity and mitigating spectral limitations.

High-Frequency First: A Two-Stage Approach for Improving Image INR

The paper proposes a two-stage training strategy for Implicit Neural Representations (INRs) that addresses spectral bias by using a neighbor-aware soft mask to emphasize high-frequency details early in training. In the first stage, the mask assigns higher weights to pixels with strong local variations, encouraging the network to focus on fine edges and textures. The second stage transitions to full-image training, and experiments show consistent improvements in reconstruction quality across existing INR methods.

Consistency Models for Fast MRI Reconstruction Using Regularization by Denoising

The paper introduces CM-RED, a fast MRI reconstruction method that combines a pretrained consistency model with the regularization by denoising framework. By integrating controlled noise injection into accelerated proximal gradient updates, CM-RED achieves high‑quality reconstructions on fastMRI knee and brain datasets with only four network function evaluations. It consistently outperforms existing diffusion‑ and consistency‑based approaches in quantitative metrics, visual fidelity, and robustness to hyperparameter changes.

Perceptually Regularized Diffusion Model for Image Super-Resolution

The paper introduces a perceptually regularized diffusion framework for image super‑resolution, adding perceptual‑loss based regularization to the standard diffusion training objective. This approach incorporates prior knowledge to improve training convergence and encourages the recovery of meaningful image features. Experiments on benchmark datasets show enhanced perceptual quality while maintaining competitive distortion metrics.
