Efficient and Training-Free Single-Image Diffusion Models

arXiv:2606. 04299v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We consider the problem of generating images whose internal structure -- defined by the distribution of patches across multiple scales -- matches that of a single reference image.

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.

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.

PatchDenoiser: Parameter-efficient multi-scale patch learning and fusion denoiser for Low-dose CT imaging

arXiv:2602. 21987v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Low-dose CT images are essential for reducing radiation exposure in cancer screening, pediatric imaging, and longitudinal monitoring protocols, but their quality is often degraded by noise from low-dose acquisition, patient motion, or scanner limitations, affecting both clinical interpretation and downstream analysis.
