High-Throughput Generative Video Super-Resolution on a Single Consumer GPU

Read the original on arXiv Computer Vision →

The paper presents a zero‑shot framework for high‑throughput generative video super‑resolution (VSR) that operates on a single high‑end consumer GPU without retraining. It decouples spatial upscaling, handled by a time‑distilled one‑step diffusion backbone, from temporal stabilization, achieved with a lightweight pretrained flow‑based interpolator. A resolution‑aware hybrid attention scheme replaces high‑resolution global attention with neighborhood attention to improve scalability, achieving up to ~32 FPS at 720p and a 44% speedup at 4K on an NVIDIA RTX 4090, while maintaining competitive perceptual quality and temporal consistency on standard VSR benchmarks.

SwiftVR: Real-Time One-Step Generative Video Restoration

Real-time video restoration (VR) for live streams requires high-resolution outputs under strict per-frame latency constraints. Existing one-step diffusion-based VR models remain difficult to deploy on consumer-grade GPUs due to two main bottlenecks: quadratic spatial attention at high resolutions and the latency-memory overhead of large video autoencoders.

RelayVSR: Large-Small Model Collaboration for Efficient Real-World Video Super-Resolution

RelayVSR introduces a streaming video super‑resolution framework that combines a large generative model, which produces reference latents for sparse keyframes, with a lightweight Dual‑Memory Video Transformer that super‑resolves every frame using these references and low‑resolution input. The method employs Video‑Aware Reference Optimization (VARO), a reinforcement‑learning strategy that optimizes both system‑level video quality and reference‑level keyframe fidelity, outperforming direct joint training. On 1080p video, RelayVSR achieves 29.29 FPS with modest GPU memory usage, significantly faster and more efficient than the FlashVSR‑Tiny baseline.
