arXiv:2608. 00111v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Image restoration quality can be evaluated along three complementary facets: pixel-level fidelity, human perception, and downstream machine preference.

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.

arXiv:2607. 26735v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Prompt inversion, as a typical reverse engineering technique, enables text-to-image (T2I) diffusion models to generate the desired target images without extensive prompt engineering.

arXiv:2602. 23214v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Plug-and-Play diffusion prior (PnPDP) frameworks have emerged as a powerful paradigm for solving imaging inverse problems by treating pretrained generative models as modular priors.

arXiv:2608. 09133v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Image super-resolution (SR) with large generative models has recently achieved remarkable perceptual quality, yet maintaining fidelity to the LR observation remains challenging.

arXiv:2607. 02628v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While diffusion models have revolutionized image synthesis, their application to real-world inverse problems is often hampered by the need for massive datasets and the difficulty of imposing strict physical constraints.
