Diffusion-based generative models have achieved remarkable success in real-world image super-resolution (SR). With tiled diffusion techniques, these models can produce high-resolution images that exceed their native-supported resolution.
arXiv:2607. 15711v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Diffusion-based methods have achieved impressive performance in real-world image super-resolution (Real-ISR) by leveraging large pre-trained stable diffusion (SD) models as powerful generative priors.

FreeTransformSR is a lightweight image super‑resolution network that uses a channel‑wise free low‑rank learnable transform to adaptively modulate features with minimal parameters. It adds a local feature modulation branch with depthwise convolution and a soft complexity adaptive module that fuses local convolution and window self‑attention based on texture characteristics. The model also employs an adaptive intensity modulation strategy and achieves competitive PSNR/SSIM on five benchmark datasets while using only 595K parameters and running faster than competing methods.

ProgResViT is an input‑adaptive Vision Transformer that processes images progressively across multiple rounds, starting with a low‑resolution image and a narrow subnetwork and refining the prediction with higher resolution and a wider subnetwork if needed. The method introduces Progress‑Conditioned Soft Gating (PSG) to share a single backbone across rounds while conditioning token fusion and layer outputs on the current round, block, and input resolution. Experiments on DeiT show improved accuracy‑compute trade‑offs compared to adaptive‑width, adaptive‑depth, and dynamic‑token baselines, and the design also benefits self‑supervised DINO representations and downstream semantic segmentation.

GraftSR is a diffusion-based super‑resolution framework that uses reference images of the same object to guide texture restoration, mitigating hallucination. It introduces a dual‑mask reference guidance mechanism to decouple texture extraction from application, avoiding reliance on spatial alignment. The authors also release TexRefSR‑141K, a large dataset of reference pairs with spatial masks, and show that GraftSR outperforms existing methods on the TexRefSR‑Eval benchmark, reducing LPIPS by 20.2%.
