Local Epistemic Uncertainty Guided Active Sampling for Plug-and-play Diffusive Image Restoration

Read the original on arXiv Computer Vision →

The paper introduces LEADer, a framework that uses local epistemic uncertainty to guide active sampling in diffusion-based image restoration. By adjusting prior strength per pixel and pruning sampling trajectories based on uncertainty traces, LEADer balances detail preservation with artifact suppression and accelerates convergence. The method is plug‑and‑play, theoretically guarantees data consistency and stable convergence, and improves performance across multiple state‑of‑the‑art diffusion models with minimal memory overhead.

StableMotion: One-Step Motion Estimation with Diffusion Prior

arXiv:2505. 06668v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We present StableMotion, a novel framework that leverages geometric and content priors from pretrained large-scale image diffusion models for motion estimation in single-image rectification tasks such as Stitched Image Rectangling (SIR) and Rolling Shutter Correction (RSC).

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

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.
