arXiv:2605. 23264v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Generative priors in Image Super-Resolution (SR) often compromise faithful restoration, we attribute this limitation to a fundamental spectral misalignment between isotropic objectives and the intrinsic natural image manifold.
arXiv:2608. 00111v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Image restoration quality can be evaluated along three complementary facets: pixel-level fidelity, human perception, and downstream machine preference.
arXiv:2608.30129v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This work presents $\textbf{Lapis}$, a $\textbf{l}$inear-$\textbf{a}$ttention-based $\textbf{pi}$xel-$\textbf{s}$pace generative framework that achieve...

arXiv:2509. 05441v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Latent generative models compress images into learned embeddings prior to synthesis, and the generation quality critically depends on how faithfully these embeddings preserve visual detail.
arXiv:2608. 10544v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Image restoration is fundamentally constrained by the tradeoff between distortion and perception: minimizing pixel-wise error yields over-smoothed results, whereas optimizing for perceptual realism often introduces structural deviations.
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%.
arXiv:2607. 26735v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Prompt inversion, as a typical reverse engineering technique, enables text-to-image (T2I) diffusion models to generate the desired target images without extensive prompt engineering.
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.
arXiv:2608. 09133v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Image super-resolution (SR) with large generative models has recently achieved remarkable perceptual quality, yet maintaining fidelity to the LR observation remains challenging.

The paper "Iterative Flow Matching: Path Correction and Gradual Refinement for Enhanced Generative Modeling" investigates the use of flow matching for image generation and identifies that this approach can produce hallucinations—unrealistic images. It proposes an iterative refinement process that can be incorporated into virtually any generative modeling technique to improve performance and robustness. The authors demonstrate how their method corrects the generation path and gradually refines outputs to mitigate hallucinations.
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.
