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.

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.
