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.
The paper introduces SANA‑SR, an efficient one‑step diffusion restoration framework for real‑world image super‑resolution. It uses a deep compression autoencoder to reduce latent tokens by a 32× ratio, preserving essential structures and textures, and applies a linear‑attention DiT with LoRA fine‑tuning for linear‑complexity token mixing. Experiments show competitive or superior performance on benchmark datasets, and the pruned model runs in 0.019 s with 407.95 G MACs and 344 M parameters, indicating strong potential for mobile deployment.
Unified image restoration (UIR) aims to recover high-quality (HQ) content from low-quality (LQ) images with different degradations using a single model. Most recent methods adapt large pretrained text-to-image (T2I) latent diffusion models for their strong capacity and generative priors.
