MotionCraft: Latent World Modeling with Sparse Attention for Visual Upscaling

Video super-resolution (VSR) aims to recover high-fidelity high-resolution videos from low-resolution inputs and is central to applications ranging from mobile capture to streaming and archival restoration. Existing approaches trade off among local-detail fidelity, long-range spatio-temporal modeling, perceptual realism, and efficiency: convolutional alignment techniques preserve local structure but suffer when motion is large or degradations are complex; transformer-based methods capture long-range dependencies yet require architectural or algorithmic adaptations to remain computationally feasible; and recent latent or diffusion-based generators synthesize rich texture but require specialized temporal constraints to maintain coherence.

High-Throughput Generative Video Super-Resolution on a Single Consumer GPU

The paper presents a zero‑shot framework for high‑throughput generative video super‑resolution (VSR) that operates on a single high‑end consumer GPU without retraining. It decouples spatial upscaling, handled by a time‑distilled one‑step diffusion backbone, from temporal stabilization, achieved with a lightweight pretrained flow‑based interpolator. A resolution‑aware hybrid attention scheme replaces high‑resolution global attention with neighborhood attention to improve scalability, achieving up to ~32 FPS at 720p and a 44% speedup at 4K on an NVIDIA RTX 4090, while maintaining competitive perceptual quality and temporal consistency on standard VSR benchmarks.

TKCAM: Text and Keyframe to Camera Trajectory Generation

TKCAM is a new framework for generating controllable camera motion conditioned on text and sparse keyframes, using a 12‑dimensional kinematic representation and a two‑stage masked transformer with residual vector quantization. It allows users to provide free‑form text prompts and RGB observations at selected timestamps, enabling temporally localized visual guidance for coherent trajectory synthesis. The authors also introduce the RealEstate10K‑Cap dataset and a Universal CLaTr Evaluator, showing that TKCAM outperforms recent baselines on FID, text‑motion matching, and retrieval metrics.

PBSR: Pseudo-Burst Super-Resolution via Zero-Shot Novel View Synthesis

PBSR: Pseudo-Burst Super-Resolution via Zero-Shot Novel View Synthesis proposes a method to enhance single-image super-resolution by generating synthetic burst frames through zero-shot novel view synthesis. The approach uses a viewpoint sampling strategy aligned with real burst data to create realistic parallax, then processes these frames with a BSR backbone that includes geometry-aware alignment and artifact-aware adaptation. Experiments on the BurstSR dataset demonstrate consistent improvements in PSNR, SSIM, and LPIPS compared to a single-frame baseline using the same reconstruction backbone.
