FastVR: Efficient Streaming Video Restoration with One-Step Diffusion

FastVR is a streaming video restoration framework that uses a one‑step diffusion model to achieve strong restoration quality and temporal consistency while processing 1080p video at 11 FPS on a single H20 GPU. It addresses efficiency bottlenecks by combining a lightweight VAE with chunk‑wise causal attention, and improves inference speed and restoration quality through velocity consistency regularization and continuous trajectory learning during training. Experiments demonstrate that FastVR outperforms diffusion baselines in efficiency and achieves state‑of‑the‑art performance on both synthetic and real‑world benchmarks.

VoRTeC: Taming Foundation Flow for One-step Real time Video Compression

The paper introduces VoRTeC, a video compression framework that leverages a foundational flow model to encode latent video representations compactly and predict their positions along flow trajectories. By integrating multi‑scale priors and avoiding access to flow‑matching network parameters, VoRTeC achieves one‑step decoding with high perceptual fidelity, while maintaining temporal consistency through tail‑frame reuse and prior caching. Experiments show a 58% reduction in bit consumption compared to prior diffusion‑based methods and a decoding speed increase ranging from 3 to 197 times, reaching 13 FPS at 720p and 32 FPS at 480p.
