High-Frequency First: A Two-Stage Approach for Improving Image INR

The paper proposes a two-stage training strategy for Implicit Neural Representations (INRs) that addresses spectral bias by using a neighbor-aware soft mask to emphasize high-frequency details early in training. In the first stage, the mask assigns higher weights to pixels with strong local variations, encouraging the network to focus on fine edges and textures. The second stage transitions to full-image training, and experiments show consistent improvements in reconstruction quality across existing INR methods.

MG-SpaIR: Multi-grade Sparse-guided Implicit Representation for Training-Data-Free Image Restoration

MG-SpaIR is a training-data-free framework for restoring a clean image from a single observation corrupted by a mixture of blur, downsampling, noise, and missing pixels. Building on implicit neural representations (INRs), we introduce a multi-grade coarse-to-fine residual hierarchy that progressively refines the reconstruction across resolution grades, improving representational fidelity and mitigating spectral limitations.

Balancing Frequencies and Pixels in Flow Matching

arXiv:2609.02748v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Natural images follow a $1/f^2$ spectral distribution: most signal energy lies in the low spatial frequencies, while the perceptually important structu...

GraftSR: Grafting Authentic Textures for Real-World Image Super-Resolution via Identical-Instance Guidance

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%.
