SE-UNet: Singular Equivariant Imaging for Real-World Constrained Generation

arXiv:2607. 02628v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While diffusion models have revolutionized image synthesis, their application to real-world inverse problems is often hampered by the need for massive datasets and the difficulty of imposing strict physical constraints.

EquiReg: Equivariance Regularized Diffusion for Inverse Problems

EquiReg introduces an equivariance‑regularized diffusion framework that penalises sampling trajectories deviating from the data manifold, thereby improving posterior sampling for inverse problems. By formalising manifold‑preferential equivariant functions—naturally arising from data augmentation or inherent symmetries—EquiReg guides diffusion steps toward symmetry‑preserving regions of the solution space. The method shows consistent gains in both linear and nonlinear image restoration tasks and partial differential equation solving, especially under reduced sampling and measurement consistency steps, and is available as open‑source code.

UniGP: Taming Diffusion Transformer for Prior-Preserved Unified Generation and Perception

Recent advances in diffusion models have shown impressive performance in controllable image generation and dense prediction tasks. However, existing approaches typically treat diffusion-based controllable generation and dense prediction as separate tasks, overlooking the potential benefits of jointly modeling the heterogeneous distributions.

NeoMap: Training-free Novel-View Synthesis from Single Images and Videos

We study the challenging problem of novel view video synthesis from single images or monocular videos. Existing methods, which operate under the assumption that pre-trained video models lack native novel view synthesis capability and enforce view alignment via camera conditioning, task-specific fine-tuning, or stepwise hard denoising guidance, often suffer from artifacts and compromised global scene consistency.

Pixel-Space Diffusion via Observation Operators

Pixel‑Space Diffusion via Observation Operators introduces a new framework for pixel‑space diffusion models that addresses a scale‑time mismatch in existing methods. By replacing fixed full‑image supervision with a time‑indexed observation trajectory that progresses from coarse structures to the full image, the model aligns supervision with the natural recovery order of image details. The approach employs Gaussian‑Lanczos operators and a GL‑CoDA decoder to refine features progressively, resulting in faster convergence and higher generation quality, achieving an FID of 1.52 on ImageNet‑256.

LUCID: Learned Undersampling-Adaptive Consistency-Guided Inference with Deterministic Flow Matching for Sparse-View CT Reconstruction

arXiv:2606. 16212v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Sparse-view CT reduces radiation dose and scanning time by acquiring fewer projection views, but angular undersampling makes reconstruction severely ill-posed, causing streak artifacts, structural blurring, and loss of fine details.

Plug-and-Play Diffusion Meets ADMM: Dual-Variable Coupling for Robust Medical Image Reconstruction

arXiv:2602. 23214v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Plug-and-Play diffusion prior (PnPDP) frameworks have emerged as a powerful paradigm for solving imaging inverse problems by treating pretrained generative models as modular priors.
