PBSR: Pseudo-Burst Super-Resolution via Zero-Shot Novel View Synthesis

Read the original on arXiv Computer Vision →

PBSR: Pseudo-Burst Super-Resolution via Zero-Shot Novel View Synthesis proposes a method to enhance single-image super-resolution by generating synthetic burst frames through zero-shot novel view synthesis. The approach uses a viewpoint sampling strategy aligned with real burst data to create realistic parallax, then processes these frames with a BSR backbone that includes geometry-aware alignment and artifact-aware adaptation. Experiments on the BurstSR dataset demonstrate consistent improvements in PSNR, SSIM, and LPIPS compared to a single-frame baseline using the same reconstruction backbone.

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

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.

PIS3R: Very Large Parallax Image Stitching via Deep 3D Reconstruction

PIS3R is an image stitching method designed to handle very large parallax by leveraging deep 3D reconstruction. It uses a visual geometry grounded transformer to estimate camera parameters and reconstruct a dense 3D point cloud from two input images, then reprojects this cloud onto a reference view to create an initial stitched image. A point-conditioned image diffusion module refines the result, reducing artifacts such as holes or noise.

Stabilizing Camera-Controlled Novel View Synthesis at Inference Time

The paper introduces CamTrol++, a training‑free method that stabilizes camera‑controlled novel view synthesis from a single image by decomposing large camera motions into small autoregressive steps, thereby limiting per‑step distortion and error accumulation. It also incorporates geometry‑constrained spatial attention, low‑frequency appearance anchoring, and a registration‑free warping pipeline to further enhance stability. Experiments on RealEstate10K and MegaScene demonstrate improved temporal and geometric consistency, better downstream 3D reconstruction quality, and higher generation efficiency, even for long 56‑frame sequences and under depth corruption.

InstantHDR: Single-forward Gaussian Splatting Initialization for HDR 3D Reconstruction

InstantHDR is a feed-forward network that initializes high dynamic range (HDR) 3D scenes from uncalibrated multi-exposure low dynamic range (LDR) image collections in a single forward pass. It uses geometry-guided appearance modeling for multi-exposure fusion and a meta-network for scene-specific tone mapping. The authors also created a pre-training dataset, HDR-Pretrain, with 168 Blender-rendered scenes to support generalizable HDR models, achieving a speedup of about 700× over state‑of‑the‑art optimization methods while maintaining comparable quality after lightweight post‑optimization.
