Flow Straight to Reality: Perceptually Consistent Flow Matching for Efficient Image Restoration

Read the original on arXiv AI →

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.

Self-Consistent Flow: Unifying Velocity and Endpoint Prediction for Rectified Flow Models

In rectified-flow-based generative models, the neural network can be trained to predict two different targets, such as the instantaneous velocity or the data endpoint, to perform denoising. Although prior work shows that these parameterizations lead to different empirical behaviors, the mechanisms underlying their respective advantages remain to be underexplored, and how to combine them effectively is still unclear.

Bi-FlowGS: Bridging Generative View Completion and Gaussian Geometry through Bidirectional Flow Co-Refinement

Bi-FlowGS introduces a bidirectional co-refinement framework that links generative view completion with 3D Gaussian Splatting geometry. It employs Video-to-Geometry Flow Distillation (V2G) to transfer temporal correspondence from restored videos into Gaussian geometry, mitigating the Geometry Cheating problem. Simultaneously, Geometry-to-Video Flow-Guided Restoration (G2V) uses the current 3DGS geometry to guide temporally consistent video restoration, creating a loop where restored videos and optimized geometry iteratively improve each other, leading to better rendering quality and geometric consistency on wide-baseline and 360° benchmarks.
