SR‑Ground is a large‑scale dataset created to enable fine‑grained segmentation of visual artifacts in super‑resolved images. It contains 63,000 images processed by various state‑of‑the‑art SR models, each annotated at the pixel level for six distinct artifact types, validated through a crowdsourcing study with 1,062 participants. The dataset improves the training of image quality assessment models with grounding capabilities and supports a fine‑tuning pipeline that reduces perceptible artifacts in SR outputs, outperforming no‑reference methods on both benchmark and real‑world low‑resolution datasets.

Diffusion-based generative models have achieved remarkable success in real-world image super-resolution (SR). With tiled diffusion techniques, these models can produce high-resolution images that exceed their native-supported resolution.
arXiv:2608. 15694v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Conditional image-to-image generators are single-shot: they map input features to an output in one forward pass and treat it as final, with no opportunity to improve on it.
SelfLift is a progressive‑resolution framework that accelerates few‑step diffusion models by enabling late, self‑recovering transitions between low‑ and high‑resolution latents. It introduces a training‑free Artifact‑Aware Consistency Lift that uses disagreement between direct latent lifting and pixel‑VAE re‑encoding to detect and correct artifacts, and a self‑recovery policy that transfers high‑resolution guidance from an internal teacher. Experiments on FLUX.2‑Klein and Z‑Image‑Turbo show latency reductions of 41.5% and 44.1%, and overall speedups of 29.61× and 19.21× over 50‑step baselines while maintaining competitive generation quality.

arXiv:2511. 18050v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Diffusion transformers have recently delivered strong text-to-image generation around 1K resolution, but we show that extending them to native 4K across diverse aspect ratios exposes a tightly coupled failure mode spanning positional encoding, VAE compression, and optimization.
