Flow Straight to Reality: Perceptually Consistent Flow Matching for Efficient Image Restoration

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.

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.

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.

NeoMap: Training-free Novel-View Synthesis from Single Images and Videos

We study the challenging problem of novel view video synthesis from single images or monocular videos. Existing methods, which operate under the assumption that pre-trained video models lack native novel view synthesis capability and enforce view alignment via camera conditioning, task-specific fine-tuning, or stepwise hard denoising guidance, often suffer from artifacts and compromised global scene consistency.
