Controllable blind deblurring with diffusion models

The paper introduces SuperSharpen, a diffusion-based method for blind deblurring in professional photography that can invert unknown isotropic blur without knowing the degradation kernel. It offers explicit control over restoration strength via a blur measure and compares two conditioning strategies: a ControlNet-style adapter on a frozen backbone and full finetuning of the diffusion prior. Experiments on synthetic and real-world blur show that finetuning yields higher fidelity with fewer hallucinated details, improving perceptual quality and controllable restoration strength.

Perceptually Regularized Diffusion Model for Image Super-Resolution

The paper introduces a perceptually regularized diffusion framework for image super‑resolution, adding perceptual‑loss based regularization to the standard diffusion training objective. This approach incorporates prior knowledge to improve training convergence and encourages the recovery of meaningful image features. Experiments on benchmark datasets show enhanced perceptual quality while maintaining competitive distortion metrics.
