UnCapsTSR: An Unsupervised Transformer-based Image Super-Resolution Approach for Capsule Endoscopy Images

UnCapsTSR is an unsupervised transformer-based GAN framework designed to enhance the spatial resolution of low‑resolution wireless capsule endoscopy (WCE) images. It eliminates the need for explicit degradation modeling or paired LR‑HR data by using a Bilateral Total Variation loss to preserve spatial continuity. The authors introduce a new Kvasir Capsule dataset for training, validate generalizability on KID and GIANA datasets, and propose the Endoscopy Quality Metric (EndoQM) as a non‑reference evaluation tool, reporting 40–80% improvement in EndoQM over state‑of‑the‑art unsupervised methods.

CEM-TUDASR: Computationally efficient multi-modality transformer based unsupervised domain adaptive super-resolution approach

CEM‑TUDASR is a lightweight, unsupervised Transformer‑based super‑resolution framework designed for Wireless Capsule Endoscopy (WCE) images. It uses a domain‑adaptive degradation network to synthesize realistic low‑resolution WCE images from high‑resolution conventional endoscopy data, enabling unpaired training. The SR generator incorporates Deep Attention Blocks and a Fusion Attention Block to preserve both global context and fine local structures, achieving superior no‑reference quality metrics and improved restoration of mucosal textures, vascular patterns, and anatomical details while remaining computationally efficient.

CEM-TUDASR: Computationally efficient multi-modality transformer based unsupervised domain adaptive super-resolution approach

CEM‑TUDASR is a lightweight, unsupervised Transformer-based super‑resolution framework designed to enhance low‑resolution images from Wireless Capsule Endoscopy (WCE). It uses a domain‑adaptive degradation network to generate realistic WCE‑like low‑resolution images from high‑resolution conventional endoscopy data, enabling effective unpaired learning. The model incorporates Deep Attention Blocks and a Fusion Attention Block to capture both global context and fine local details, achieving superior performance on WCE datasets and demonstrating cross‑domain adaptability to retinal images, all while keeping the parameter count and computational load low.

EndoFSA: Endoscopic Few-Shot Image Generation via Rank-Constrained Parameter Adaptation

EndoFSA is a GAN-based model designed for endoscopic few-shot image generation, addressing the scarcity of pathological samples in wireless capsule endoscopy (WCE) data. It adapts a generator pretrained on abundant normal images to abnormal domains by updating only a small set of rank-constrained modulation parameters while keeping the rest of the weights frozen, thereby preserving anatomical priors and preventing mode collapse. The method incorporates perceptual boundary regularization and cluster-wise diversity control, operates without pixel-level annotations, and demonstrates that synthetic abnormal images can match real images in downstream classification performance.

TransNSNet: A Transformer-Enhanced Multi-Scale Adversarial Framework for CT-to-PET Image Synthesis

TransNSNet is a Transformer‑enhanced multi‑scale adversarial framework designed for CT‑to‑PET image synthesis. The study curated a paired CT‑PET dataset from a public NSCLC Radiogenomics collection and evaluated the framework against several baselines, reporting that TransNSNet achieved the best mean performance in nine of ten metrics while maintaining a smaller parameter footprint. Statistical analysis found no significant superiority over other models after correction, and the authors caution that synthesized PET‑like images should not replace clinically acquired PET scans.

PanoDiff-SR: Synthesizing Dental Panoramic Radiographs using Diffusion and Super-resolution

PanoDiff-SR is a two‑stage pipeline that generates full‑size dental panoramic radiographs (PRs) at diagnostic resolution. First, a denoising diffusion implicit model creates a low‑resolution PR seed, which is then upscaled by a fine‑tuned hybrid attention transformer to a high‑resolution image. The method achieves realistic results, with a Fréchet inception distance of 40.5 and a clinician detection accuracy of 68.5%, closer to chance than previous GAN‑based approaches.
