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.

C-DiffSET: Leveraging Latent Diffusion for SAR-to-EO Image Translation with Confidence-Guided Reliable Object Generation

C‑DiffSET is a SAR‑to‑EO image translation framework that uses a pretrained Latent Diffusion Model to adapt SAR imagery to the EO domain. The method exploits the pretrained VAE encoder’s ability to map SAR and EO images into a shared latent space, even when SAR inputs contain varying noise levels. A confidence‑guided diffusion loss further improves pixel‑wise fidelity by reducing artifacts such as appearing or disappearing objects, leading to state‑of‑the‑art results across multiple datasets.

Cross-Modality Structural Guidance in 3D Latent Diffusion for Robust FLAIR Super-Resolution

The paper introduces MR‑DiffuSR, a 3‑D latent diffusion framework that uses high‑resolution T1w structural priors to guide super‑resolution of thick‑slice FLAIR MRI scans. By applying cross‑modality structural swin attention and a mixed‑scale degradation strategy, the method avoids hallucinations and remains robust across varying slice thicknesses. On ADNI datasets, MR‑DiffuSR outperforms CNN and 2‑D diffusion baselines, achieving high PSNR, SSIM, and low LPIPS, and maintains strong white‑matter hyperintensity segmentation performance even at 7 mm equivalent slice thickness.

Prior-Guided Implicit Neural Representations for Single-Subject Diffusion MRI Super-Resolution

The paper introduces a transfer‑learning framework that pre‑trains an implicit neural representation (INR) on a high‑resolution diffusion MRI template and then adapts it to individual subjects through registration and fine‑tuning. This approach enables native single‑subject super‑resolution, achieving a 4× through‑plane up‑sampling from 5 mm to 1.25 mm on Human Connectome Project data. Compared to a recent baseline, the method reduces NRMSE by 36–49 % and increases FSIM by 24–43 %, while training 6× faster and outperforming other INR‑based techniques on both image quality and domain‑specific metrics.

Uncertainty-Guided Latent Diffusion Models for Faithful Super Resolution

UGDiff introduces an uncertainty-guided diffusion paradigm for single-image super-resolution, aiming to improve the perception‑distortion trade‑off. The method estimates reconstruction uncertainty of latent features from a high‑fidelity image and uses this uncertainty, along with diffusion sampler posterior variance, to selectively restore high‑frequency details in uncertain regions while preserving fidelity elsewhere. Experiments show that UGDiff outperforms state‑of‑the‑art diffusion‑based SR methods.
